Welcome to our Andean Lodge for those who need a deep connection with nature, Chilcabamba brings you closer to the majesty of the Andean highlands.
From a breakfast face to face with Cotopaxi, to a bonfire under a wonderful starry sky when night falls. We love to keep our senses attentive to every detail, in order to bring you unique experiences. We will do our best to meet any requirement you may have.
Chilcabamba is focused on comfort and quality service for single travelers, couples, families and small groups of up to thirty.

  • Located in the Ecuadorian Andean paramo with one of the best views to the Cotopaxi volcano.
  • The proximity to Quito and the International Airport, only a 90 minute drive where you can appreciate nature at its best.
  • With only thirteen rooms, the experience at Chilcabamba Lodge is focused in comfort and quality service for single travelers, couples, or families who appreciate warm and familial hospitality.
  • For those that enjoy to engage with the local community, we offer several activities provided by our neighbors, so you can make genuine memories.
  • The variety of activities at Chilcabamba Lodge is diverse, from relaxed to active: trekking, hiking, horseback riding, biking, cow milking, trout fishing, among others.
  • We are a favorite lunch spot, for visitors doing the Full Day Cotopaxi National Park: visitors want to still enjoy the view while they lunch or have more chances to see the volcano, if they missed it while they were in the park.
