Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Nuestra Residencia, and is it truly wild?

While Nuestra Residencia isn't deep in a vast national park, we love the opportunities for birdwatching right on the doorstep. We've spotted Andean condors soaring overhead and numerous hummingbirds flitting through the gardens. It's more about accessible nature than big game, offering a peaceful encounter with Ecuador's diverse avian life.

We're planning a trip in June. Is this a good time to visit Nuestra Residencia, and what should we pack?

June falls within the dry season, which we find ideal for visiting Nuestra Residencia. Expect crisp, cool mornings perfect for exploring the grounds and clear afternoons. We recommend packing layers, including a warm fleece or jacket, waterproofs just in case, and sturdy walking shoes for the trails around Quimsacocha.

What is the general vibe at Nuestra Residencia? Is it a rustic guesthouse or something more upscale?

Nuestra Residencia strikes a wonderful balance. It feels like a comfortable, welcoming home away from home, but with touches of understated luxury. We appreciate the quiet elegance and the sense that you're truly getting away from it all, without sacrificing comfort.

Are there any specific activities or excursions we should book in advance when staying at Nuestra Residencia?

We always recommend arranging any guided hikes in the nearby Quimsacocha National Recreation Area through the lodge. They have excellent local guides who know the best trails and can point out flora and fauna we might otherwise miss. It adds so much depth to the experience.

What are the typical costs associated with a stay at Nuestra Residencia, beyond just the room rate?

Beyond the room rate, we find that meals are reasonably priced and delicious, often featuring local ingredients. Any optional guided activities or transport to and from the lodge will be additional. We suggest budgeting a little extra for these to fully enjoy the surrounding area.
