Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge

We were a party of 8, including 3 kids who can be picky eaters at home but absolutely loved the food and rated each meal better than the last. The hikes were well paced for our diverse ages, kids, parents and active grandparents. The viewing stations attracted many different birds, hummingbirds. Two tayras (giant bushy tailed weasel/badger) stopped by to grab a banana from the bird feeding station. We also saw a kinkajou and of course, the olinguito visited each night. We stayed in the new Montane Vista units, very clean, spacious and comfortable - a little piece of paradise high on a ridge in the middle of the cloud forest. All of the staff were accommodating and pleasant. Transportation from Quito to the Lodge was included in our price. The roads are winding at times and the last portion is rough - we were extremely pleased with our excellent driver. Could not have had a better experience - the kids all said they hope to come back again someday!
