Pet-friendly hotels and homes in El Chaco

I liked absolutely everything about Rio Quijos EcoLodge...I would rate it as the best lodge in all of Ecuador...better than all the expensive lodges...very reasonably priced...fabulous birdwatching, hiking trails, beautiful grounds with splendid flowers and gardens, the main lodge, dining area and rooms are all immaculately clean and charming ...the meals are absolutely delicious, healthy, variety, ...best food in all of Ecuador for sure The staff is so welcoming, kind, hard working, accommodating, genuine and happy. The owner Angel made us feel at home...like family..not only an expert birder, photographer...but a gentle, easy going character with a delightful sense of humor Both Angel and his bird guide friend, Omar gave us several days of excellence bird watching...helped us discover endless new species, lifers, and had us laughing and having a grand time. We loved their dog, Kimchee...the most gentle, sweet, caring perro and trail guide... I can't recommend anyone and everyone,families, couples, bird lovers, individuals, white water paddlers or just looking for a peaceful nature get away...Rio Quijos has it all... A five star lodge with very reasonable rates

The Lodge is in a lovely location in Ecuador with amazing views. The room I stayed in was a good size and the shower was nice and warm. Yolanda and her husband were very atentive and kind hosts.

This location is one of the best locations we have been. What a beautiful house and what a beautiful hosts! Were had 3 course dinner at the house cooked with all fresh produce. While taking about the country, the past and the future. It was a great stay. I would give them a 1000!

Rodrigo was super helpful, and all guests were friendly and sociable. if you kayak this hostel is amazing.

We stayed for a one night stop over between Coca and Quito (via Papallacta hot springs). Alpine bed and breakfast with a lot of character, a 5min taxi ride from Baeza town (Rodrigo the owner did offer us a ride). The garden around the property is amazing, we saw at least 4 species of hummingbirds and they had some kind of alpacas/lamas. Nice waterfalls to check a 5min walk straight from the back of their garden. You can order dinner from their restaurant in town to be delivered at the property. They also have some guided tours of the area, next time we'll have to stay longer!
