Ecuador Resorts and Lodges

El Monte is an ecotourism operation that consists of three wooden cabins and a central lodge for dining and socializing. We have designed El Monte with sustainability in mind and use Permaculture as a general guideline while organically producing many of our own fruits and vegetables. Our guests stay in spacious, two-story A-frame cabins, with a large open area on the first floor, and a bedroom, bath and small loft upstairs, with one double and two single beds. We never mix groups, each cabin is designed for one to four people. The second floor has large glass windows that can be closed and still allow you a great view of the Rio Mindo and surrounding forest. The cabins are hand-made; no power tools were used in the construction. The roofs are made of renewable palm leaves (thatch). Most of the building materials were obtained from the Mindo area. read more...

In South America, from the foot hills of the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, the river Malpelo winds down to the Pacific Coast forming a beautiful bay now called Playa Escondida (hideaway beach). Truly off the beaten track with the nearest town fourteen km's away, we are assured of privacy, safety, a pristine beach, and gentle surf. The backdrop for this idyllic shoreline is an ecological refuge of 100 hectares. Here we are dedicated to protecting the diverse flora and fauna of the semi-tropical forest from local hunters, logging, cattle and shrimp farming, not to mention commercial tourism; all forces which the threaten the fragile eco-system of this vital littoral. read more...

Cabañas San Isidro was first founded as a typical Ecuadorian Hacienda-style cattle ranch over forty years ago by the Bustamante Family of Quito, Ecuador. Always with a deep concern for proper natural resource management as well as for the urgent need to protect the unique flora and fauna of the zone, Simón Bustamante left the majority of his vast property untouched and forested. Over the years and after much hard work, San Isidro has evolved into a comfortable tourist lodge surrounded by large tracts of primary humid subtropical forest run today by Simón´s daughter Carmen Bustamante read more...

Deep within the jungle you will find a mysterious lake called Challuacocha, where floating water hyacinths and grasses obscure the shores. And if you venture out on this lagoon in a dug out canoe early in the morning when it is quiet and the light is still low, you just might see, somewhere out there, lying hidden in the vegetation a rare and wild Manatee or Anaconda. Float here for a while, scanning the horizon and you would probably notice the yellow, banded chest of an Aracari or hear the hoarse whisper of the Hoatzin. Eventually, the day would pass and you could peer out across the shimmering, black water towards the setting sun, and almost certainly see the gleaming orange eyes of the Black Caiman. Come to Challuacocha and feel the mystery. Come to Challuacocha and experience the world of Sani Lodge. read more...
