Piedra Blanca Ecolodge, Ecuador
Rustic ecolodge accommodation in rural Ecuador
9 April 2009 update - our ecolodge is currently being renovated. We expect it to be ready to receive guests in mid June 2009. In the meantime, do visit and stay with a local family, or in the hotel in nearby San Luis de Pambil. Email for advice.
The ecolodge sleeps up to 25 people, though normally there are very few other visitors. You might be the only group staying - this is off the beaten track adventure travel in Ecuador.
The Piedra Blanca Ecolodge is in the centre above (click to enlarge the image). The restaurant / comedor is located to the left of the ecolodge.
The ecolodge was constructed in 2004 (& renovated in April 2009) - Global Routes (USA) volunteers worked alongside members of the local community, converting a derelict old school into the lodge. The community now manages the ecolodge and the community ecotourism project. By staying in the ecolodge, you're benefiting the local environment and the local community. Other accommodation options include camping in the forest or family homestays.
