Loja Province is over 2,000 meters over the see level and has a perfect climate. Its capital, also called Loja, is one of the oldest cities in the country and renowned as the “cradle of the arts, literature and music” of Ecuador.

If you are seeking the natural environment, go to the parish of Vilcabamba, known as the Valley of Longevity. This small town is famous because its inhabitants live many more years than the people from other parts of the world.

Locals believe this is because the residents’ drinking water comes from the wilderness, the climate varies little (20 ° average) and their diet is low in fat. The height of the terrain varies from 1400-3773 m above sea level.

In this area, there are a variety of accommodations, but only one has been a finalist in the prices of London World Travel (Best Hotel and Spa Resort). Just 2 km from the parish of Vilcabamba (“Sacred Valley” in pre-Quechua language), watching the majestic Andes, lies the heavenly hotel-spa Madre Tierra.

Madre Tierra is one of the most magical places on earth. Most guests arrive planning on staying for only a couple of days, but then decide to stay longer.

Now under new ownership and management, you will discover an award-winning “hosteria” that will delight even the most picky guest.

You’ll love the delicious organic and fresh gourmet food that comes from our gardens, , the world’s purest water, fresh air and charming people you will meet while you are pampered in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. At all times you will be surrounded by tropical gardens, the sound of waterfalls, singing birds and thousands of different smells.

All facilities of the “hostería” (Room, Pool, Spa, Restaurant and Conference / Theater / Yoga / Exercise / Dance / Meeting Center) respect and maximize the close relationship with nature. After walking through the gardens, you’ll come to your beautiful and comfortable room; each room is unique in its design.

And then there is the spa, “cave-like”, which reportedly has the best spa treatments in Latin America, already inexpensive and half price for hotel guests. No wonder Madre Tierra is one of the most famous and popular hotels, spas and restaurants in all Ecuador.

Maybe you’ll want to participate in the activities offered by Madre Tierra: horseback riding, excursions, hiking, working in the cultivation of organic coffee or meal preparation.

Maybe you’ll want to spend every day of your stay at the spa, enjoying a massage and learning the virtues of medicinal herbs.

Madre Tierra has the only special garden built by the famous Old People of Vilcabamba to teach children and world travelers about the medicinal plants and herbs that helped them heal themselves naturally for centuries. You can sign up for seminars, private consultations, and conferences and meet some of these famous Old People who love to share their knowledge, wisdom, and stories.

Maybe you’ll want to do… absolutely nothing! Maybe you just spend the day sitting under the beautiful sky, enjoying the perfect climate of Vilcabamba, in this permanent state of bliss we feel when we have reached deep relaxation.

Madre Tierra will be there for you because its mission is to become one of your favorite places in the world.
