Bellavista is at the southern edge of the Choco/Andean hotspots of biodiversity – that stretches from south western Colombia to northwestern Ecuador. And equally important, Bellavista is part of the Mindo Area of International Importance for Birds, the first area so designated in South America, by Birdlife International in 1997.Bellavista is a dream come true, for every nature lover and bird-watcher whose imagination is stimulated by the idea of a Cloud Forest. A certified ecolodge it exists within a 700 hectare private reserve full of endemic birds, mammals, orchids and other species.
Ample, spacious superior rooms with queen-sized beds, for one or two or three people. Two rooms have sofa beds. Wooden floors, large windows and skylights, overlooking parts of the near forest and the far Guagua Pichincha vulcano.
This construction of brick and wood built by young Germans experts fits beautifully into the surrounding forest landscape. We have included large windows for watching the birds come and go. The house has two floors and is decorated in our very own Bellavista style. It can accommodate a family of 6 on the second floor and has a couple of very cosy double rooms on the first floor.
Upstairs we have a family room with a double bed and three single beds, often used as a twin, or for families. It has a 2 storey balcony with a true birds eye view of the Tandayapa Valley! Downstairs there are two rooms, one double, and a twin room with wheelchair access and a comfortable balcony.
Offers a suite of 2 rooms, bedroom and living-room, for a comfortable private stay for a couple. Views straight down the Tandayapa Valley, birding from your cozy bedroom is often great!
