Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge sits in the Tandayapa Valley near Mindo, one of Ecuador’s longest-established birding lodges, built around its own private cloud forest reserve.
A distinctive geodesic dome lodge alongside simpler cabins, each positioned to overlook the surrounding cloud forest.
A relaxed dining programme served with panoramic cloud forest views.
Guided birdwatching along an extensive trail network, plus night walks for owls and other nocturnal cloud forest species.
The reserve holds over 330 recorded bird species, including multiple tanager and hummingbird species found only in this narrow Andean bioregion.
The lodge’s elevated dome structure offers a panoramic vantage over the cloud forest canopy, useful for landscape shots at dawn.
Bellavista’s private reserve has protected a significant tract of Tandayapa Valley cloud forest since the 1990s.
