Hacienda El Tambo Quilindaña dates back to Inca times, when it was a refuge on the road leading the jungle. This marvelous farm is located in a magical setting surrounded by many volcanoes, such as Cotopaxi (5,897m), Quilindaña (4,878 m) that presides over it, and the majestic Antisana (5,704m).

In a hut built with straw and stone originating from Cotopaxi’s many eruptions and carved by Inca hands, our visitors will experience pristine and unique landscapes during their expeditions with comfort and a personalized service. In this unique spot in the Andes, everywhere you look you see the solitude and beauty of a valley bathed in rivers, and the silence and ever-present wind of the bleak, high-altitude páramo.

The Refuge, which covers 5,000 hectares, is ideal for climbers on longer expeditions (three or more days). It has two living rooms with fire places for relaxing after mountain hikes. The bathrooms have hot water and there is no electricity.

Alcoholic beverages and soft drinks available for purchase.
