Hotel Europa is a conveniently located place to say in Alausí. Alausí is a small, colorful town cradled by the Andes.

The town of Alausí is known for its picturesque cobblestone streets, lined with houses painted in bright shades of red, green, blue, and orange. You can walk a few blocks north of the hotel to Alausí’s main park, a patch of greenery surrounded by restaurants and shops with artisanal local goods. Alausí is near the start of the Nariz del Diablo train tracks, which were built in the early 20th century. Visitors take the Nariz del Diablo train for an exhilarating ride through the gorgeous mountains, valleys, and rivers in this part of Ecuador. The train stop for Nariz del Diablo is right across from the hotel.
