Bellavista offer excellent network of trails, over 8 km in length, ranging from easy to genuine adventure plus four waterfalls on the property of 700 hectares, all deep in the forest and truly beautiful. Bellavista offers guests a unique stay above the forest canopy!

You can also sit out on your private balcony and observe the activity at your own hummingbird feeder.

The Dome offers 5 double rooms with private baths and balconies. On the top two floors, we have dormitory-style, shared bath accommodation, with 360 degree views and a large balcony! EL MONTE – Mindo Area
One of the best ways to describe El Monte is that we are “unique”, mostly because of our environmental philosophy and personal touches. A conscience decision was made to stay small and that there should be some sort of ratio between guests received and amount of land owned to keep the ecological impact to a minimum. Of the El Monte Reserve only about one hectare (2.5 acres) is used for the lodge, garden and cabanas, the rest is used for nature walks, bird observation or just enjoying nature. The main house includes the kitchen (where mainly vegetarian meals are served) and dining table, game area, bar… plus two open “fogatas” or fire pits. The majority of the house is open, with nice views of the garden and surrounding forest. Birding is often exceptional here, with Golden-headed Quetzal, Pale-Mandibled Aracari, Choco Toucan seen regularly… not to mention tons of tanagers, flycatchers, foliage gleaners and others. Guests at El Monte stay in private cabanas alongside the crystalline Rio Mindo. Each cabana has a comfortable bathroom complete with a full size tub and unlimited hot water, plus separate areas for socializing and sleeping. The design of all the cabanas, and the main house, is original and also very functional taking into account the mild climate, lack of strong winds and local construction materials that blend nicely with the landscape and river. Each cabana is equipped with a flush toilet and an independent waste treatment system that is comprised of an enclosed sand bed with bamboo growing inside to remove nitrogenous buildup. MANDALA – Machallilla Area on the Coast of Ecuador Ecoturism: visit the cabins of Hostería Mandála, a place of nature and art, with botanical gardens, games, musical instruments, located in Machalilla National Park in Puerto López at the pacific coast of Ecuador, where you can enjoy gorgeous beaches, the Plata and Salango islands, Spondylus reef, diving and snorkelling, horseback riding or hikes through the dry and rain forest, archaeology, bird watching, and see humpback whales from July to September.
