Paz de las Aves Eco-Lodge
Mindo, Ecuador
Comfortable Lodging for Birdwatchers
Paz de Las Aves Lodge is a family-run retreat designed for birdwatchers and photographers seeking a unique stay in Ecuador’s cloud forest.
Our lodge offers four private rooms, each with its own bathroom, providing comfort and privacy in a peaceful, family-oriented setting. Guests enjoy direct access to nature, surrounded by the sights and sounds of native birds and the beauty of the outdoors.
Built to minimize environmental impact, our small lodge is set on previously farmed land, preserving the surrounding trees. We are committed to sustainable practices and plan to add solar power and water conservation systems soon.
Wake up to birdsong, fresh coffee, and an immersive nature experience that will make your stay unforgettable.

Paz de las Aves Restaurant
Our lodge restaurant offers meals tailored for birdwatchers and guests, with hours that adjust based on the best bird sighting times—our team will always let you know in advance when meals are served. We accommodate special diets and food allergies, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Meals are crafted in the style of comida típica, featuring traditional Ecuadorian dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
…and our breakfast specialty!
A typical breakfast at Paz de Las Aves starts with our signature breakfast empanadas, golden and perfectly crisp. Next, enjoy huevitos de Maria—savory fried plantain dumplings filled with seasoned chicken (or a vegetarian option), served alongside eggs cooked to your preference. It’s a hearty, flavorful start to fuel your day of birdwatching and exploration.
