📍The Cloud Forest Retreat: Cloud Forest Adventure

Blog Image Lost in the Mist: A Cloud Forest Dream at 📍The Cloud Forest Retreat Waking to the soft whisper of mist at 📍The Cloud Forest Retreat feels like stepping into a fairytale. The air, thick with the scent of orchids and damp earth, hangs heavy with the magic of the Chocó Andino de Pichincha. Sunlight filters through a canopy of giant ferns, illuminating vibrant hummingbirds darting between bromeliads. The sounds of unseen creatures – a rustle in the undergrowth, the distant call of a bird – create a symphony of the wild. Did you know the Chocó Andino is home to over 60% of Ecuador's bird species? This evening, I enjoyed a traditional Andean dinner, the flavors as rich and layered as the forest itself. The quiet serenity here is unparalleled. What whispers of adventure will the cloud forest share with you?
