Chilcabamba Lodge

Cotopaxi

Popular |

10 Rooms

From $90 per person/night

Guarded by four volcanic peaks, Chilcabamba is your gateway to the marvels of Cotopaxi.

Amidst the Tolkien-esque landscapes of Cotopaxi National Park, Chilcabamba embodies a passion for nature, appreciation for indigenous culture, and the adventurous spirit Ecuador is known for. The entire lodge was built from locally-sourced and recycled materials, its thick adobe walls keeping out the chilly night air and its style is rustic and authentic. In every room, there is a wood-burning stove to keep you toasty after a day spent delving into the rapturous surrounds with Chilcabamba's resident chagra (an Ecuadorian cowboy), Rafael. And there are horseback rides across the grasslands, hikes along trails of petrified lava, and kayaking in a crater lake to get stuck into as well.

Hacienda San Agustin De Callo

Cotopaxi

10 Rooms

From $390 per person/night

A deeply historic hacienda with Incan roots & the epic wilderness of Cotopaxi to explore.

This storied Hacienda has lived many lifetimes. It began as an Inca Palace, constructed by one of the last emperors in the 15th century, and by 1921, it had been purchased by the revolutionary-turned-president, Gutierrez. It remains in his family to this day. The heritage is evident in the melee of architecture, ranging from Incan Imperial to Spanish colonial, and stunning wall paintings by Chilean artist, Manuel Araya, that fill every room. And, we cannot forget the astonishingly-beautiful landscapes that beg for adventure, as well as the snow-laden Cotopaxi volcano that towers over the montane forest and sprawling grasslands.

Hosteria La Cienega

Cotopaxi

28 Rooms

From $110 per person/night

Lyrical rooms, startling views & hiking galore in the shadow of the Andes Mountains.

As one of the oldest colonial haciendas in Ecuador, La Cienega has a remarkable history. Having hosted aristocracy, scientists and even the president of Ecuador, it is the picture of old-world elegance. Not far from the forested slopes of Cotopaxi, it is believed that the Virgin of the Rosary (Patroness of La Cienega) has kept the hacienda safe for over 400 years. Approaching through a tunnel of eucalyptus, the hacienda is surrounded by nature and its interiors honour the folklore of Ecuador's indigenous people. Described by Condé Nast as 'pure poetry' and, as you stroll through the grounds with snowy Cotopaxi in the distance, you'll soon see why.

Hacienda El Porvenir

Cotopaxi

22 Rooms

From $90 per person/night

Tucked away in the Andes, this hacienda is pretty as a picture - and then some.

Built 3,600 metres above sea level, Hacienda EL Porvenir boasts a spectacular alpine setting on the slopes of the Ruminahui Volcano. Sitting on a sustainable working ranch, the house has a storybook feel with thatched roofs, and a Smartie-red and blue exterior. There are hiking routes aplenty, taking you into the pretty páramo grasslands or deep into the mountains and, when you return, there are artisanal teas and soothing treatments at the spa. You can even take the glamping experience to new heights in a machai (designed like an Andean hut) and wake up to euphoric views that will take your breath away.
