Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Tambo Quinde, and is it truly a 'safari' experience?

While Tambo Quinde isn't a traditional African safari destination, we love the opportunities it offers for experiencing Ecuador's unique biodiversity. Expect to spot a vibrant array of birdlife, including hummingbirds and toucans, flitting through the cloud forest. We also often see small mammals like agoutis and occasionally monkeys, making for delightful, up close encounters.

We're planning a trip to Tambo Quinde. When is the absolute best time to visit for comfortable weather and active wildlife?

We find the dry season, from June to September, offers the most pleasant conditions for exploring the cloud forest surrounding Tambo Quinde. The humidity is lower, and the trails are less muddy, making hikes more enjoyable. While wildlife is present year round, bird activity tends to be particularly high during these months.

What is the general vibe and accommodation style like at Tambo Quinde? Is it rustic or more luxurious?

Tambo Quinde strikes a wonderful balance. We feel the lodge offers a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The accommodations are cozy and well appointed, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration, though it's not an ultra luxury resort. Think charming and authentic.

Given its location near the Bosque Protector, what are the main activities we should prioritize during our stay at Tambo Quinde?

We highly recommend dedicating time to guided nature walks within the Bosque Protector de la Cuenca Alta del Rio Guayllabamba. These walks are fantastic for spotting endemic flora and fauna. The lodge also offers opportunities for birdwatching right from its grounds, and we love simply relaxing on the veranda, soaking in the sensational cloud forest views.

Are there any specific safety considerations or costs we should be aware of when planning a visit to Tambo Quinde?

We always advise packing layers for the variable cloud forest climate and sturdy walking shoes for the trails. While generally safe, it's wise to stay on marked paths and follow your guide's advice. Costs for accommodation and guided activities are reasonable for the experience offered, and we recommend booking in advance, especially during peak season.
