Nature, culture and adventure at 3,500 m above sea level: hiking, horseback riding, biking, fishing and much more.
Just 6 km from Cotopaxi National Park, Chilcabamba Mountain Lodge is the perfect starting point to enjoy the best activities in Cotopaxi. Nestled in a quiet valley and surrounded by mountains like Pasochoa, Ruminahui and Sincholagua, we live the páramo from our doorstep.
From horseback rides with chagras to acclimatisation hikes, every activity is designed so you enjoy the best of the Ecuadorian páramo.
Every experience is arranged around your stay: message us and we'll organise it.
01Self-guided and guided trails through the Andean páramo: park visit, Rumiñahui ascent and excursions to the Río Pita canyon, next to a network of trails ideal for trekking.
02Horseback rides in Cotopaxi led by local chagras, the traditional Andean cowboys, in the National Park and now also at a new spot in El Pedregal, close to the lodge. Not just an excursion: a cultural immersion into rural life.
03Mountain biking routes for every level, through the valley, the trails around the lodge and inside Cotopaxi National Park.
04Family activities with our neighbours: fishing for trout in natural water sources or joining the traditional cow milking.
We believe ecotourism is more than outdoor fun: it's a tool for sustainable development. Many of our activities are designed to create real connections with local families.
Every activity is a chance to reconnect with what matters and appreciate the cultural and ecological richness around us.
Our lodge is located in a peaceful valley, nestled among mountains and next to a network of trails ideal for trekking and cycling.
