Three Ancient Orders Working Together
Over 900 Years of Inspiration

Here are some snapshots of the El Meson de las Flores Inn. Our Knightly headquarters in Ecuador. We are stationed here to provide help for the needy and poor.

The entrance of our headquarters in Cotacachi Ecuador is 66 steps to a magnificent cathedral and park.



Here’s the park



The village is quiet and peaceful and once inside Meson you feel the flavor of its colonial past. The foundations of this building were started here over 180 years.



The inner courtyard is open.



The outer court leads to a dining and meeting room each for 50. We have a full professional kitchen where we produce delicious, nutritious and energizing organic meals drawn from the Andes’ mineralized volcanic soil. The restaurant offers a special diet based on shamanic principles taught by the Taitai Yatchaks that is a delicious, abundant, fulfilling and purifying fare. We also provide a kitchen for the poor so that homeless residents do not go hungry.

We have also started an educational lending library for children



Everywhere you turn you see stunning views from the hotel. The hotel is nestled between three mountains. This Mt Imbabura.



20 minutes away is a national park and crate lake for picnics and in pure air and nature take you along nearby along Cuicocha Crater Lake. Cuicocha was formed by a massive volcanic explosion 3,000 years ago. You picnic on a carpet of grass by pure, azure, 600 foot deep waters amidst breathtaking scenery.

Here's Prior Gary Scott with his wife Merri at the lake.



An hour away is Chachimbiro Thermal Springs (picture below) you soak in the wilds of its mineralized waters.

Locals knew of pools of healing waters since prehispanic times, but the majority of these medicinal thermal waters began to flow after an earthquake in 1868. They come from a volcanic complex that has existed 10,000 years and flow at temperatures ranging from 92 F to 132 F.

The chemical composition makes them among the best healing waters in the Americas as they contain chlorides, sulfides of iron, copper, fluorine, bromine and iodine. They act as a digestive, purgative regulator, stimulant of the cardiovascular system, diuretic and a central nervous system stimulant.



R&R programs and monthly stays are offered at El Meson with a focus on learning Andean health techniques and providing a low cost home for medical missions that come for the West to heal the poor.
