Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Motel los Klaveles, especially given its location?

While Motel los Klaveles isn't deep in the Amazon, we love its proximity to Milpe Gardens for birdwatching. Expect to be dazzled by hummingbirds, toucans, and perhaps even the elusive Andean cock-of-the-rock. It's a fantastic spot for keen ornithologists who appreciate accessible yet rewarding wildlife encounters.

We're planning a trip in June. Is this a good time to visit Motel los Klaveles and the Northern Andes?

June falls within the dry season for Ecuador's Northern Andes, making it an excellent time to visit Motel los Klaveles.

Beyond birdwatching, what other activities does Motel los Klaveles facilitate for its guests?

The primary draw is indeed the access to Milpe Gardens and its incredible avian diversity, which we highly recommend. However, the lodge itself is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the cool mountain air, and perhaps take short walks on surrounding trails. It’s a place to truly disconnect and soak in the Andean atmosphere.
