Cabañas Rio Yambala – Vilcabamba (Ecuador)

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Leona Sky

During my three-months stay in Ecuador, I spent a couple of days in Vilcabamba. If you ever get the chance to go there, I would definitely recommend doing so. Make sure to stay at Cabañas Rio Yambala though. Why? See for yourself…

In the middle of nowhere, overlooking Vilcabamba and surrounded by wild vegetation, you will find the rustic, beautiful and peaceful Cabañas Rio Yambala. These comfortable hillside cabins are the gateway to fantastic hiking including trails to the adjacent Podocarpus National Park and the privately-owned Las Palmas Reserve. It is the ideal spot to get away from it all forget time, relax and enjoy paradise. Apart from great hiking trails and the opportunity to do some birdwatching, you can also sign up for horsetrekking tours. So if you ever get the chance to travel Ecuador, make sure to stay at Cabañas Rio Yambala! By the way, a great book to read while traveling Ecuador is ”The Panama Hat Trail“. Check out Sarah´s and Charlie´s Cabañas Rio Yambala website for more information on the cabins and the guided tours they offer.
