Wilderness Ecolodge is a working hacienda with a wide variety of produce, encourages environmental education in local schools and promotes community tourism.
We are
located in a rainforest reserve. This is a great option for travellers
looking to combine a trip to the Ecuadorian tropical forests with a hacienda
experience. The same family has owned the hacienda for over
90 years.
The Ecolodge has large rooms,
spacious suites, a gourmet restaurant, a pool and is part of a working horse and
cattle ranch. Activities offered include horseback riding, guided jungle hikes,
mountain biking, white-water rafting, and an autoferro train ride. Hotel guests
can explore the lush tropical surroundings and the many waterfalls through
various excursions or participate in daily farm activities such as cattle
herding or milking the cows. The ecolodge maintains an eco-friendly atmosphere
by promoting local conservation, reforestation and responsible
travel.
The forest reserve has
primary and secondary forests, and guests can hope to see a variety of tropical
birds such as parrots and toucans. The lush forests surrounding the hacienda
contain the largest amount of flora and fauna per square meter than anywhere
else in the world. The tropical forests are abundant in endemic species,
epiphytes and orchids. An additional bonus is the proximity to good white-water
rafting
Wilderness Lodge donates computers to the local high school, and donates paint for the church and local school. At Christmas we invited all the children from the three communities around to the hacienda to experience the Christmas spirit with games, lights and presents.
We are pioneers in the natural recycling and water treatment techniques in the area, our reputation presides us everywhere in the world by the experiences of our customers.
