Where to Stay in Ecuador: Alternative, Unique, Affordable and Ecological Accommodation in Southern Ecuador

Ecuador Tierra Viva offers its customers the chance of staying at alternative, unique and beautiful hotels, inns, hostels and eco-lodges.

You do not need to join one of our tours in order to access these beautiful accommodations. However, our tours do make use of the places we advertise on our web site.

Some of these unique places are located in and around the cities of Quito, Cuenca, Loja and Zamora. Others are located within nature reserves and next to the Podocarpus National Park.

Please follow the corresponding links below in order to obtain more information.

Alternatively, ETV can make reservations for you at any hotel in Ecuador. Just let us know the name of a hotel and we will make a reservation at this hotel on your behalf. Otherwise, just tell us what places you are planning to visit while in Ecuador and we will find you quality hotels at these places and make reservations on your behalf. By using this service you will avoid the hassle of making all the reservations yourself, dealing with a language barrier and given out you sensible credit card information.

Also, ETV can help you find long term accommodation in cities such as Quito, Cuenca and Loja. We have a network of rooms, which are available for rent on a weekly or monthly basis. In most cases you'll be sharing your temporal house or apartment with other tourists.
