Chilcabamba Lodge offers a warm and authentic escape in the Ecuadorian Andes, just outside Cotopaxi National Park. With sweeping views of Cotopaxi and Rumiñahui volcanoes, this boutique mountain retreat combines rustic comfort with genuine hospitality from its local owners, who have worked with communities across Ecuador for over 20 years.
Guests can enjoy outdoor adventures such as trekking, horseback riding, cycling, and trout fishing, as well as immersive cultural experiences like cow-milking and berry harvesting with neighbours. After a day of exploring, unwind beside a bonfire with s’mores or simply take in the panoramic mountain views from your private deck.
The lodge is dedicated to sustainable tourism, working hand-in-hand with nearby communities to promote a circular economy and preserve the unique landscapes of the high Andes.
