Sacha Urco Lodge y Bosque Protector

My partner and I really enjoyed our experience at Sacha Urco. The facilities were innovative and extremely well taken care of, the location was excellent (pure sounds of nature), and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. We fell in love with this place and will definitely be returning soon!

My wife and I stayed here for 3 days, 2 nights. On the second night we had a tiny wedding ceremony with a total of 6 people. Tony, the reserve manager, was THE nicest and MOST accomodating hotel manager I have EVER met. ANYTHING you need, Tony can probably help you get. We didn't need any special accommodations for our ceremony, but Tony made sure we had everything we needed. The cabins are beautiful and have a sort of.. upscale treehouse feel to them, and our room's shower was a screened in, indoor-outdoor shower so it felt like showering in the forest without the bugs interrupting...in fact, one time we had some horses walk by in the distance while we showered...where else can you get that kind of connection to nature? Best part of all is that the money you spend goes towards maintaining and protecting the nature preserve that the hotel sits on. **HOT TIP**: the hotel is tucked away in the forest, maybe a mile or 2 away from Mindo City center, I would recommend grabbing everything you might want from the city before getting to the hotel because there is no "quick walk" to the store, you know? I would also recommend bug repellant spray, candles or oil for your room because the light can attract bugs at night. Special thanks again to Tony and the staff who were such great hosts!! We plan to come back someday, maybe on our anniversary, God willing!

One of the coolest places we've stayed! The cabins were very comfortable and thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the cloud forest. It was great to be able to walk around the reserve that the hotel is in, which is beautiful and great for seeing wildlife. Tony and all the staff were brilliant—super helpful and easy to talk to. The food was amazing too. We will definitely recommend this place and will hopefully be back soon.

Loved this place. We had a wonderful cabin facing the mountains. It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the shower looking into the forest was great. Toni was very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. The place has a great sustainable ethos.Lovely walks around the area. Wish we had booked to stay longer. Thank you all for a great stay

Such an amazing place! The romantic cabin was quaint and just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of Quito. So much kindness was shown by Sol who brought our dinner to our cabin every night because I was in a boot due to surgery..

We absolutely loved our time at Sacha Urco Lodge. The owners and staff were kind and attentive. The food was phenomenal. We chose to stay on property for much of our visit, enjoying the trails and birdwatching. The guides brought in for the night hike and birdwatching tours were knowledgable and provided us with great information and photo opportunities. We are a multigenerational family, and all of us agree that Sacha Urco was our favorite stop during out 2+ week vacation in Ecuador!
