Duration: 480 minutes

Live an exclusive experience in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest

Overview

Escape the ordinary and discover an exclusive glamping experience in the heart of the Ecuadorian rainforest, nestled within the Kichwa community of 9 de Junio, near Quito. Cacao Glamping is not a hotel — it is an immersive experience where luxury, nature, culture, and wellness come together. Stay surrounded by lush primary rainforest, disconnect from the outside world, and reconnect with what truly matters. The cabins are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with nature, offering comfort, privacy, and an intimate connection with the rainforest. As you wake up, you may spot oropendola and cacique nests near your cabin, while colorful parrots and macaws fly across the rainforest landscape. During the morning sunrise, throughout the afternoon, and around sunset, these beautiful birds may pass right by your cabin, creating a magical connection with nature. Their presence is not a staged activity—it is simply part of the living rainforest that surrounds Cacao Glamping. One of the highlights is Killa, a 3-meter-long private pool inspired by the beauty of the moon. In Kichwa, Killa refers to the moon, symbolizing the connection between nature, the night sky, and the peaceful surroundings of Cacao Glamping. The pool is intentionally shallow, making it perfect for children, families, couples, and relaxing moments together—whether you want to cool off, gather with loved ones, or simply dip your feet while enjoying the rainforest. Every experience at Cacao Glamping supports the local Kichwa community. Our hosts and guides are local community members, while locally sourced ingredients and traditional knowledge make your stay a meaningful way to discover the Ecuadorian rainforest and its culture. Come for the luxury. Stay for the connection. Leave with unforgettable memories.
