From the owner

Tucked into lush gardens with banana & citrus trees, this cozy eco-friendly adobe cabin has great views of the scenic valley in which it is located, at the start of the main Hiking & Birding trails in Vilcabamba.

The cabin has a bedroom/living room with a balcony where you can enjoy the panoramic views, the birds and the sounds of nature from the comfort of your hammock.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, fridge, blender, water filter & basic pots and utensils.

There is outdoor sitting space at the entrance overlooking the mountains and garden.

It's a 3-4 minute uphill walk to the cabins

We, Sarah & Charlie, are always willing to help our guests with whatever you need. Having been in the area a long time (30/40 years), we have lots of local knowledge for both travellers and those looking to make Vilcabamba their new home. Anything you need just let us know, in person or by email. We have maps & directions for local hikes and can help organize day horse treks into the mountains. Our color bird guide has photos of the most common species around the cabins.
