Cotopaxi Sanctuary lodge

High-altitude haven

Andean retreat with volcano views

Located on the slopes of the Sincholagua Volcano and facing the mighty Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the tallest and most active volcanoes in the world, Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge is 3,600 metres above sea level. Surrounded by the wide open grasslands of the Andean paramo that is enriched by forests, streams, waterfalls, and rivers, this private hacienda is a sanctuary for wildlife, including red-brocket deer, Andean pumas and the rare Andean-speckled bear, as well as wild horses and a variety of endemic birds. The lodge offers two accommodation options: spacious, modern domes and interconnected suites, both designed with large windows to provide breathtaking views of the Cotopaxi Volcano and the Andean landscape.

Dining at Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge is a culinary delight, featuring the chef’s exquisite recipes made with local grains and vegetables native to Ecuador and the Andean Sierra region. For a more intimate experience, private and romantic dinners can be arranged within your accommodations. As the day ends, savour a glass of wine in the social areas, watching the sunset across the Andean highlands.

Beyond the lodge, a variety of excursions await. Explore private trails for hiking, horseback riding and biking, or simply take a walk and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Ecuador’s unique flora and fauna.
