Can you imagine walking through ancient paths, listening to the river running down, while you let the perfumes of the jungle penetrate into your body?

Can you imagine relaxing in a Jacuzzi and look throughout the window, the largest variety of birds in the world?

We know about the feelings that produces just thinking about the possibility of living a moment like that.

That’s why I want to introduce you to the Lodge Sumak Pakari, which is privileged to be located in the middle of a unique ecosystem, shaped by science and legend, wanting to share it with us. Pakari Sumak invites us to this corner of the Ecuadorian rainforest without forgetting the comfort or the respect for nature in its architecture.

This beautiful familiar and eco-lodge is located in the Northwest of Pichincha, just 72 km from Quito. The site shares the Sacred Valley of the Yumbos, with the River Tulipe and the small location, with the same name. 800m of it stands the “Museo de Sitio”, whose characteristics are unique in the country.

The habitat surrounding Sumak Pakari is the cloud forest of the Andes. The clouds hide in the inside, nearly 300 species of orchids, 170 species of birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals.

The dense vegetation has hidden for centuries strange stone buildings, traces of the existence of a civilization that few know.

There are many questions and little is known about this mysterious tribe that existed before the Christian era. There are stories about encounters with the first Spanish colonizers, stolen mummies and buried treasures.

Just 300 meters from the hostel Sumak Pakari, are large pools of various forms which, according to archaeologists and historians, religious rituals were practiced by the Yumbo.

Wenn you walk through these constructions, the mystery and wonder is revealed through the vegetation. It’s a trip really worth recommending.
