This friendly, remote mountain lodge, set in the Andean Highlands, caters to international travelers interested in hiking, biking, andhorseback riding. The lodge makes a strong effort to promote environmental awareness in the local community and with guests. Vegetarian meals, permaculture practices, shared compost bathrooms and more all work toward that goal.

The activities in the area are mostly of an athletic nature. You can hike to the spectacular Quilotoa Volcanic Crater with its turquoise waters, passing a handful of farms and local families going about their daily business on the way. Bike the mostly downhill ride to the Sunday market at Sigchos. Rent horses for a morning ride to the local cheese factory or cloud forest with waterfalls and a variety of birds, plants and wildlife. If you are more interested in relaxing, stay in the cozy main lodge, listen to music, partake in the book exchange, or go for a ride on the zip-line.

The lodge staff are helpful and mostly native English-speaking. They will happily help you plan your day's activity, and arrange for transportation and guides. There is hot water 24 hours, which you will be grateful for in this chilly mountain climate.
