The lodge

A hidden mountain lodge   just outside Guayaquil.

Safari Lodge is located only 115 km from Guayaquil, but it feels like a completely different world. The road leaves the city behind and enters a landscape of mountains, rivers and cloud forest. At 1,000 meters above sea level, mist rises from the valleys and waterfalls appear along the cliffs.

This is the Cloud Forest of La Esperanza, one of Ecuador’s most untouched ecosystems—deep green, humid and alive with wildlife. The lodge is set in the mountains of Bucay, directly facing the Piedra Blanca waterfalls.

Close to the airport. Far from everything else.

Why this location   is ideal

Safari Lodge is perfectly positioned for international travelers:

  • Only 2–2.5 hours from Guayaquil
  • Direct route from the city to the mountains
  • Ideal before or after a trip to Galápagos
  • A natural experience without long travel distances

Travelers often describe it as the perfect pause between flights and the islands.

Here, every window faces the mountains. Every breath smells of forest.
Every sound comes from water and wildlife.

A Remote Place   That’s Easy to Reach

You don’t need special vehicles or long jungle transportation. The route is accessible and the entrance to the lodge is simple.

We are located:

  • Northeast of Guayaquil
  • In the mountains of Bucay
  • Inside the Cloud Forest Reserve of La Esperanza
  • Facing the Piedra Blanca waterfalls

From the city airport (GYE) to the lodge, the landscape transforms from coastal dry forest to lush rainforest and mountains.

The   Setting

This region is known for:

  • Waterfalls and natural pools
  • Cloud forest trails
  • Rivers and mountain viewpoints
  • Birdlife and endemic species
  • Banana and sugar cane plantations

It is a rare mix of tropical forest and Andean ecosystem—similar to the Amazon, but in the mountains and much closer.

Arriving   From Guayaquil

Most travelers arrive from:

  • José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport
  • Hotels in Guayaquil
  • Terminals or private transport services

We recommend booking in advance so we can assist you with:

Safari Lodge is remote enough to feel wild, yet close enough to arrive comfortably.

A Destination   Between Journeys

✔ Travelers on their way to the Galápagos
 ✔ Guests who want nature before long flights

This is the stop you didn’t know you needed.

The Cloud Forest   Climate

The region has refreshing tropical-mountain weather:

  • 18° to 24°C

  • Mist and light rain throughout the year

  • Warm days, cool evenings

The forest always feels alive and breathing.

Stay close to Guayaquil.   Stay close to nature.

Safari Lodge is where convenience meets wilderness.
 We are easy to reach—but once you arrive, you feel far away from everything.

A mountain sanctuary. A gateway between Guayaquil and the Galápagos.
