Black Sheep Inn – Highly Acclaimed Eco-Lodge in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador
Black Sheep Inn is a relatively inexpensive eco-friendly hotel high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. It is near Lake Quilotoa, a beautiful volcanic crater lake located at 3800 meters (12,400 feet)and is near the town of Chugchilán. One of the best day hikes in Ecuador is nearby, a hike from Laguna Quilotoa, through the Rio Toachi Canyon, to the town Chugchilán. The cloud forest near Black Sheep Inn is part of The Iliniza Ecological Reserve. The inn is considered one of the top 50 Ecolodges in the World in 2009.
One of the most awesome views in Ecuador is that of the Cotopaxi’s snow-covered volcano, the highest active volcano in the world at 19,347 feet. Black Sheep Inn is located in the Cotopaxi Province and the trip to the volcano is a 3+ hour drive from the Inn.
Just a few of the Black Sheep Inn’s features include Gourmet Vegetarian Meals, Yoga Studio, Sauna and Hot Tub, a Gymnasium, a 10 acre farm with dogs, a cat, pigs, chickens, rabbits, llamas, and a flock of Black Sheep. They have satellite internet available and a Water Slide and zip line! Check out their excellent website for extensive details, descriptions and photos.
One of the best hiking guides for Ecuador is the Trekking in Ecuador – see below.

Yes the photos are from the Black Sheep Inn website – we figured they would be ok with the free publicity.

Looks like an amazing place to stay! Another beautiful eco friendly resort in Central America is La Cocotera Resort in El Salvador. It’s a beach resort and is stunning!
