Copalinga Ecolodge Zamora Ecuador

A paradise for birders and nature lovers, located 3 km from Podocarpus National Park, Bombuscaro entrance.We have 6 first class cabins with private bathroom, and 2 more rustic cabins with shared bathroom facilities. All cabins have a bedroom, a private bathroom with hot showers, and a balcony. They are within 50 m of the parking area and restaurant. COPALINGA lodge is located at an altitude of 950

m.a.s.l. (approx. 3000 feet) The area is free of tropical diseases, such as malaria. The rooms are provided with screens, although there are very few mosquitoes at night. We also have 2 more "rustic" cabins, with bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities, for a maximum of 8 people. Services and activities

The restaurant and bar are available only for guests who stay overnight. Breakfast can be served at a birder's convenience i.e. while a lunch package can be provided upon request. We serve meals at international standards. If you have any special diet requirements, please notify us at reservation time. Trails exist around the cabins. Along the trails, thatched benches, located at excellent bird viewing spots, provide shelter and allow for convenient bird watching even when it is raining. Hummingbird feeders are present in front of the restaurant. The entire area provides great opportunities for bird photography (also from the balcony of the cabins – see pictures below). Living here for nine years we have gathered substantial knowledge of the birdlife at COPALINGA and we will be glad to share it with you, in English, French, Dutch and/or Spanish. The trail loop system, which spans an altitudinal range of 500 m (1500 feet), allows you to get into the interior of the tropical submontane humid forest, a precious world full of orchids, bromeliads and ferns (easy to see) and of forest birds (unfortunately, not always so easy to see). Electricity is provided by means of a hydro power plant (turbine) 24h/day. The COPALINGA lodge can be reached by mobile phone (CLARO: 09/3477.013). Tarifs
