Hostal Cloud Forest is an eco-friendly, clean and welcoming hostel, runned by a lovely ecuadorian family, that is well-known for its delicious food as well as its great location. It is the perfect place to stay for your trip.

Most of our guests come by foot on the famous Quilotoa Loop Hike. But there are as well buses coming to the village: 3 times a day from Latagunca. The hike from Quilotoa to Isinlivi, passing the River Toachi and Chugchilan is considered to be one of the most beautiful trails in Ecuador.
For those who have time, a 2-nights stay is perfect to go horseriding to the cloud forest, inca ruins and/or cheese factory with a knowledgeable guide and discover more about this lovely region. You can rent horses to go to Quilotoa or Isinlivi too.
The rooms are decorated with wood and stone. The beds have a few blankets to keep you really warm by night. Each room has a private bathroom with hot water shower. The entrance door to each room can be closed with a key.
There is a mini-market with the most necesary things in the reception and aditionally we have a cafe & bar. Next door you can also find a bakery and minimarket. Be careful; we do not accept credit card.
