We decided to build with a foot inside the wood and the result is that we have built all around some trees already there before our arrival. But it was worth it. We have a single room and five double, four of which can accommodate up to four beds. Gross total equal nineteen. Every room with its own bath and hot shower . Every room with its own exterior and covered space, that will allow You to feel in direct and lonely contact with Nature. The whole building allows to rest in open air protected from the rain by an arcade running all around. On the roof a terrace with a panoramic view. In conclusion, we have built a small gem to permit to live at the very best a situation that is only... to be experienced.
As You see we don't emphasize too much our hotel because we are... confident of what we have done. The restaurant is dedicated to residents and therefore isn't going to be very crowded and noisy. One can eat inside or outside and the meeting between Ecuadorian and Italian cooking will be an advantage for You.

Pachijal conducts birdwatching activities partly inside the reserve, followed by a local guide and a licensed guide, specialized in bird watching in the cloud forest, and partly via excursions in the Valley of Mindo, with Pachijal’s own transport and followed by a licensed guide specialized in bird watching in the cloud forest.
Cost per person USD 125-850
Naturalist Tourism Tours
Pachijal Reserva Ecologica has designed packages taking into account the reason you go on a vacation - in order to enjoy nature, view beautiful landscapes, and experience new cultures. All of these things can be experienced while visiting the Mindo Cloud Forest.
Cost per person USD 200-500
Pachijal welcomes the opportunity to design a personalized visit or, if you like, you may design your own.
A Collage of Andean and Tropical Ecuador
The tour allows one to visit various natural environments: Paramo on the Andes; the cloud forest at Pachijal and surroundings; the Pacific Ocean at Rio Verde with its large and lonely beaches (the mass tourism hasn’t reached this place yet); the Santiago River; the rainforest at Playa de Oro; and again the Andes and the magic of Laguna de Cuicocha.
Many natural environments and many cultures. From Mindo, where Los Yumbos lived, to Playa de Oro and its Afro-Ecuatorian culture. Cuicocha and Otavalo and the Andean Culture. Finally, the Colonial Center in Quito, declared a Cultural Humanity’s Hermitage by Unesco.
And what about conservation efforts at Pachijal and Playa de Oro? All proceeds from local tourism go directly to the community, who ask only to stay where they have always been, protecting a community rainforest of about 10,000 ha. This is a great opportunity to visit a wonderful place contributing to the local economy with your own visit, to preserve it as it is.
It is an adventure trip. Good for people not used to adventure, but even for those that are used to adventure and would like to be a bit… comfortable.
One last note about the trips … Pachijal believes that anyone traveling alone can join any of their groups, whose minimum number is two.
Cost per person USD 800-1600
