Starlight Inn

Welcome to Starlight Mountain Lodge, a lodge nestled in the heart of the Andean highlands, on the outskirts of the historic town of Sigchos in the province of Cotopaxi.

Perfect for those seeking to escape urban life and connect deeply with nature, our lodge is the ideal base for exploring the stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and volcanic wonders that define this region. Experience the authentic Andean culture of Sigchos, a welcoming town known for its genuine people and local traditions.

Gateway to Majestic Peaks and Landscapes

From Starlight Mountain Lodge, you are in the perfect position to witness some of Ecuador's most impressive volcanic panoramas. Our location offers spectacular views of the twin-peaked Ilinizas mountains, part of the nearby ecological reserve. You can also see the powerful Quilotoa Crater Lake, a dazzling turquoise lagoon formed within a volcanic caldera. The famous Quilotoa Loop trek begins in the area from our property.
Closer by, the dramatic Toachi Canyon—a gorge carved by ancient volcanic flows—and the impressive climbing walls of the Tangán Columns offer immediate access to adventure.

🌿 A Sanctuary for Unique Flora and Fauna

Starlight Mountain Lodge was created with a core vision of preservation and minimal intervention, allowing the unique cloud forest, páramo, and subtropical ecosystems of our surroundings to thrive.

The region is a refuge for wildlife. The area is home to a variety of the spectacled bear, mountain rabbits, deer, and foxes. And a great variety of birds.
