We had a wonderful stay although very short near Cotopaxi. The Hacienda as well as its staff is truly lovely. Diner was delicious (we had the lomo). Breakfast is also very good.
The hacienda is greatly located and you can truly enjoy the view of the volcano. Magnificient!
The owner can organize you a guide or activities in the national park as well as a car to get there or leave.
We recommend this place to 150% and wish we can come again!
Beautiful lodge near Cotopaxi.
We loved our small wood fireplace in the room. A young gentleman would come to set up the fire everyday.
The unplanned highlight of the stay was actually a âstrayâ dog. According to the receptionist, the dog does not belong to the lodge but shows up on the lodge property frequently.
The dog was there when we checked in. She (we think itâs a girl) somehow indicated to us to follow her. We had no activity planned, so we walked with her. For one hour, the dog led our mini hike and she sure knew the way well in that area. She was so intelligent, peaceful yet playful. It was an amazing experience. Our day and that walk wouldâve been boring if the dog werenât there. My partner was not a fan of dog but still fell deeply in love with her. Seemed other guests, especially solo ones, liked her company too.
Staff was all very kind and helpful. Horseriding in the national park was very beautiful, but previous riding experience highly recommended.
Lunch menu was a bit too simple. Real empanadas would be a good idea to add on the menu.
Like mentioned above, there arenât much to do in the lodge, especially when the weather was bad. Extra activity would be nice: such as walk with the lodge dog :)
Very quiet place with great service. The road to get there is not easy! But overall it helped our family relax with a fire place and great accommodation. Strongly recommended as in Ecuador the standards are not always consistent.
The hotel is a little bit challenging to reach. If you don't have an organized transportation, you should rent a SUV, since roads are partly really bumpy. But the place and the hotel are great. It is really quite and cosy. We had a fire place in our room. The food is good. And just after moving to another hotel not to far away we realized how great Chilcabamba was. We would like to come back immediately. We will miss it. So, if you need a nice place to disconnect from the was was world, Chilcabamba could be a good option for you.
We spent two lovely nights at Chilcabamba. It's modern and comfortable, but also has character. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The lodge is in a spectacular setting in the countryside, with direct views of Cotopaxi but also another volcano, Pasochoa. Because of the altitude, the Cotopaxi area gets cool at night but the rooms have wood-burning stoves so stay warm. Chilcabamba also has a nice restaurant and comfortable lounge. Overall a lovely refuge on the fringes of the Cotapaxi national park. We hope to go back.
The stay at the lodge was out of this world. The staff are amazing and care for every need. Couldnât fault a single thing! Food and drink was exceptional too! And the location is to be seen with your own eyes! Nothing can compare !
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
