Our story, our home

A family-run mountain lodge in the Andean páramo, made with love by a family and a team from neighbouring communities.

Welcome

Chilcabamba is our home in the mountains

A mountain lodge in Cotopaxi surrounded by volcanoes, endless páramo and a calm you can feel. We get to enjoy the beautiful mountains that surround us with peace and wonder.

We love discovering new places as a family, and we'd love to share some of our favourite hidden spots when you visit. We've been running Chilcabamba for almost 10 years and we feel lucky to work with such a kind and committed team.

We hope you'll feel at home with us, here at Chilcabamba — a truly special mountain lodge in Cotopaxi.

Experience

Ecuador, hand in hand with its people

Ecuador is a dream for anyone who loves nature and culture. The Andes, the Amazon, the cloud forests, the coast, the Galápagos… we've worked in many places across the country, and what has stayed with us is the warmth of the people who welcomed us like family. Now we want to do the same for you.

Our purpose

Slow down, reconnect with nature

Our goal is to offer travelers a chance to slow down, disconnect from routine, and reconnect with nature. We want our guests to feel the peace of the páramo, explore Cotopaxi's trails, encounter local wildlife — and at the same time, discover the deep connection we share with this land and its people.

Nature

Volcanic trails, wildlife and the Andean páramo steps from the lodge.

Community

Our team is from the area and many experiences involve our neighbours.

Warmth

Authentic, human hospitality: feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Our team

At Chilcabamba we believe our people are an essential part of the experience we offer. Our team is made up of people from the local communities, committed to their work and proud to share the warmth and hospitality of the region.

With dedication, professionalism and attention to every detail, we work together so that every guest feels welcome and enjoys an authentic, cozy and memorable stay.
