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.
Cristina and JascivanYour hosts at Chilcabamba
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 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.

Our team is from the area and many experiences involve our neighbours.
Authentic, human hospitality: feel welcome from the moment you arrive.
Every unforgettable stay at Chilcabamba is made possible by a team of people who love and live the mountains. Some grew up here, others came from nearby regions, but all share the same goal: making you feel at home in the high Andes.
José has been with us for over a decade, and there's no corner of the kitchen or guesthouse he doesn't know. His quiet humor and big heart make everyone feel welcome. Guests love how he always has a smile — and a great meal — ready.
Paola is part of our housekeeping team and makes sure your room feels like home. She's always happy to share stories about the páramo and knows the Cotopaxi sunrises like the back of her hand.
Jonathan is our youngest team member and full of energy. He's in charge of the cabins and common areas, always making sure everything is tidy. His upbeat attitude keeps the whole lodge smiling.
Eduardo is our cook and the master behind our local flavors. He knows how to turn simple ingredients into comforting dishes that warm you up after a day outdoors. Ask him about his favorite Ecuadorian recipes!
Karen keeps our guest areas spotless and cozy. She's also great at making everyone feel seen — always offering a kind word or a big smile. You can often find her humming while working!
Rafael leads the horseback rides in the park. He knows the páramo like the back of his hand and loves showing travelers his favourite corners.
Patricio is our local guide for trekking tours to Rumiñahui as well as for visits to Cotopaxi National Park. He knows the area like the back of his hand and loves to share his knowledge and adventures.
Fabián, our neighbor and nature lover, cares for the plants and green spaces around the lodge. He knows the páramo like few others and enjoys showing guests the beauty of native plants and wildlife.
