Nestled deep in Ecuador's misty embrace, every breath fills with the sweet scent of ancient earth and exotic blooms. Experience a profound serenity where a hummingbird ballet is your morning serenade.

Blog Image Waking up at 📍The Cloud Forest Retreat is an experience straight out of a dream. The air, thick with mist and the sweet scent of damp earth and exotic blooms, feels ancient and alive. Emerald greens dominate every view, from the moss-draped branches outside my window to the vibrant orchids clinging to trees, just like in the photos. This morning, a flurry of iridescent wings announced a hummingbird ballet right by my balcony – a daily, mesmerizing spectacle. Being nestled deep within the Chocó Andino de Pichincha, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, means every moment is a discovery. Did you know this incredible region is home to over 400 bird species? The symphony of nature is my constant, calming soundtrack. It’s a profound, soul-stirring serenity. Have you ever felt so completely immersed in nature that time itself seems to slow down?
