Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge

Perched at an altitude of 3,600 meters on the verdant slopes of Sincholagua Volcano, Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge offers a rare escape into the soul of Ecuador’s Andean highlands. With the awe-inspiring Cotopaxi Volcano—the tallest active volcano on Earth—commanding the horizon, this eco-luxury haven is cradled by the untouched splendour of the Andean páramo. In this serene expanse, rolling grasslands, ancient forests, crystalline streams, and cascading waterfalls create a symphony of natural beauty. Set within a private hacienda, the lodge provides guests with intimate encounters with native wildlife, from elusive red-brocket deer and Andean foxes to majestic pumas and the seldom-seen Andean speckled bear. Overhead, Andean condors sweep the skies, adding to the drama of the landscape.

Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge stands as a beacon of sustainable elegance, where thoughtful design meets raw wilderness. Built with a deep respect for its environment, the lodge harmonises with its surroundings, minimising ecological impact while maximising comfort. Its eco-conscious construction nurtures the native ecosystem, allowing local flora and fauna to flourish undisturbed. Panoramic vistas of the surrounding volcanoes—Cotopaxi, Rumiñahui, Pasochoa, and Sincholagua—serve as both inspiration and invitation, immersing guests in a landscape that is as breathtaking as it is unforgettable.
