This was our ideal place to stop on our way from Quito to Cuenca. Once we arrived, we could immediately feel the laid-back atmosphere that this place exudes.

About the Lodge

All staff members are friendly and take care of every detail. The service was outstanding and equally memorable both times we stayed there.

As a matter of fact, on our second visit to this place, my husband got traveler’s disease, a.k.a, Montezuma’s revenge. Manuel the owner of the Lodge was not only very attentive.  He even found a doctor for him when we saw he was not getting better.

Time to relax:

In addition to the pool and a nice warm jacuzzi located by the river, we decided to book a spa treatment, called baño de cajón.  The aim of this treatment is to detox our bodies from some of the toxins that we get from everyday life.

Then, inside the sauna boxes or cajones, you get to wear your swimsuit with a towel around the neck. Inside the box, you have a lever that allows you to adjust the temperature or heat that you desire.

During the whole treatment, we switched between the sauna boxes and cold water. The duration of each stage increased, so we ended up at the end some minutes at the sauna boxes, and instead of being doused in cold water, we went in the cold running river located just next to the hotel.

Furthermore, 45 minutes later and with some sweating, we got a great detox.

Benefits expected: increased blood circulation, decrease levels of cholesterol, better sleep, and cleaner skin.

Conclusion:

You will surely feel more balanced and relaxed after a spa treatment and a hike to the breathtaking waterfall Pailon del Diablo.

Thus, spending a day or a weekend at this calming place, it is the perfect weekend getaway or a stop on your way to Cuenca or Quito.
