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!

Amazing staff, food, view of cotopaxi, fireplace My only feedback is investing in having quieter rooms because i can still hear others. Also, have more signs in the park to make it easier to find the hotel

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.

Incredible place to stay, 2 nights was not enough. Jessica and the team really made me and my family very welcome. Excellent breakfast and dinner with amazing views of the 5 volcanoes and plenty of activities to do in the area. Would love to go back one day.

Great days!
It is a beautiful place where you will enjoy the tranquility, the natural landscape and the warmth of the staff who work there. The logde is far from the road but it is worth it because you really disconnect from everything. The staff is very attentive and always ready to help, I really hope to return sometime with my family when we think about vacations.

Thé Chilcabamba Lodge by far exceeded our expectations!!! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, the food is excellent and the dining room is warm and cosy. The lodge is an eclectic mix of hacienda with modern decor and design. The outside offers stunning views of Cotopaxi as well as Rumiñahui, Pasochoa and Sincholagua. Would definitely go back!

Cannot recommend Chilcabamba enough.
Jesica and her team went above and beyond to provide an excellent 3 night stay with my two young children. The rooms were spacious and elegantly decorated, the food in the restaurant was delicious and local, and all the staff was extremely attentive to anything we needed during our stay. We arranged two day tours (Cotopaxi and Quilotoa) while there and they were excellent and well worth the cost (our guide was fantastic!). This is all not to mention the amazing views from the lodge. You won't regret choosing Chilcabamba!

Had a wonderful 3 nights staying at Chilcabamba and exploring the area. The room was spectacular, newly renovated with a view to die for, a wood burning stove was lit for us before we returned each evening. The staff were all so kind and helpful, there are plenty of activities - just ask Jessica!!!! and we ended up having all our meals at the lodge as the food and wine was the best in the area. Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful, but otherwise... meh.
The hotel is in a great location with an incredible view of Cotopaxi. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and we loved the house ponchos and community firepit. But the meals left something to be desired. Breakfast (which was included) was small and bland. Dinner (which was a $21 charge) was equally unimpressive. We had some wine we brought with us, and the hotel wanted to charge us a corking fee or else pay to "rent" the corkscrew. I wouldn't stay there again, even for the great view. :(
