Pachamama Ecolodge

Pachamama Ecolodge in Banos, Ecuador is a nature-forward hillside ecolodge built for couples and small groups who want big views and quiet downtime.

Panoramic setting: The lodge sits along the Vía a Runtún above Baños de Agua Santa, giving many stays a strong “away from it all” feel while still being close enough to dip back into town for activities.

Suite-style stays: The property highlights a small collection of named suites and rooms, designed as private retreats rather than a large, busy hotel experience.

Private jacuzzi focus: A standout feature is that the suites are described as having their own jacuzzi, which can be a major perk after a day of hiking, waterfalls, or thermal baths in Baños.

On-site comforts: Expect practical conveniences like free internet access and on-property parking, which helps if you’re arriving by car or arranging drivers for excursions.

Food and in-room service: The ecolodge promotes breakfast plus room service-style dining (including brunch and à la carte options), supporting a relaxed, stay-in vibe.

Easy trip pairing: Staying at Pachamama Ecolodge works well if your plan includes viewpoints around Runtún and classic Baños experiences like hot springs and waterfall routes, then returning to a quieter base.

Hillside logistics: Because it’s set above town on the road to Runtún, getting to central Baños may require a car or arranged transport rather than quick walks.

Not a full-service resort: If you want lots of on-site facilities and constant programming, the lodge’s small, suite-led concept may feel limited.

Weather exposure: Mountain conditions around Baños can shift quickly, so outdoor lounging and view-focused stays may depend on visibility and rain.

Pros	Cons
Private jacuzzi suites with panoramic views	Typically easier with transport due to hillside location
Breakfast, room service options, parking, and free internet	May feel light on facilities compared with larger resorts
