Very quiet place with great service. The road to get there is not easy! But overall it helped our family relax with a fire place and great accommodation. Strongly recommended as in Ecuador the standards are not always consistent.

The hotel is a little bit challenging to reach. If you don't have an organized transportation, you should rent a SUV, since roads are partly really bumpy. But the place and the hotel are great. It is really quite and cosy. We had a fire place in our room. The food is good. And just after moving to another hotel not to far away we realized how great Chilcabamba was. We would like to come back immediately. We will miss it. So, if you need a nice place to disconnect from the was was world, Chilcabamba could be a good option for you.

We spent two lovely nights at Chilcabamba. It's modern and comfortable, but also has character. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The lodge is in a spectacular setting in the countryside, with direct views of Cotopaxi but also another volcano, Pasochoa. Because of the altitude, the Cotopaxi area gets cool at night but the rooms have wood-burning stoves so stay warm. Chilcabamba also has a nice restaurant and comfortable lounge. Overall a lovely refuge on the fringes of the Cotapaxi national park. We hope to go back.

Superbe séjour

Superbe séjour fortement recommandé, autant pour la vue que pour le service à la fois professionnel et amical sur place. Nous avons adoré y passer deux nuits en famille et avons pleinement profité des activités sur place: pêche, balade à cheval dans le parc Cotopaxi ( à ne pas manquer), feu de camp avec smores, etc. Le lieu est isolé et l'accès n'est pas aisé sans un véhicule assez haut, mais ça garantie la quiétude et une superbe vue sur le volcan. Repas de qualité, mais assez chers pour le pays. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation!

My husband and I had the most outstanding stay. We stayed for 6 nights in total. Throughout the entire stay we felt so at home. Breakfast was a great quality as was the lunches, boxed lunches for trip days and the evening meals. Our room was super spacious, the fire was delightful and made it really cosy. Jessica helped arrange all our guides for hiking and visiting the Cotopaxi area. I would change nothing and would return again if I ever come back. The views were breathtaking and I don’t think the pictures on here really show how great the lodge is or the views, so you have a delightful surprise ahead of you if you book. We saw hummingbirds around the lodge and had really good local liquors to enjoy by the fire a night.
