If this year you would rather celebrate away from the noise, the Cotopaxi páramo is less than two hours from Quito. Holidays here are slow: a wood fire, home cooking and mountains in every direction.
Why the holidays feel different in the mountains
There is no rush at the lodge. Afternoons go by next to the wood stove with a book, a board game or a long conversation. At night, the clear páramo sky shows stars you cannot see from the city.
Ideas for your stay
- A short walk on the lodge trails at sunrise.
- Horseback riding with local chagras across the páramo, great for families.
- A quiet dinner with local trout and regional produce.
- A day in the national park if the weather cooperates.
