San Jorge de Milpe Lodge & Orchid Reserve is positively bursting with life, with an abundance of butterflies, moths, plants, reptiles, mammals, including 300 species of orchids, and 450 species of birds. You may even get to see our resident tayra drop by!
Visit while on your tour of the Magic Birding & Hiking Circuit, or come spend your vacation to Ecuador here–either way you will get to enjoy the rainforest’s beauty and diversity.
Natural Areas
The tropical rainforest surrounding the lodge features well-kept birding trails, 11 waterfalls, and a hilltop birding area with a 360ยบ view of the surrounding valley forests and fields, the perfect place to go birding and watch mixed flocks come through–you may even see 50 species before breakfast. Milpe is in the vicinity of Mindo, one of the world’s most famous birding areas, and a major birdwatching destination in South America.
Accommodations
Rooms in our two-story cedar lodge feature all modern conveniences and spectacular views of the adjacent forested valley. Our on-site organic garden provides fresh ingredients for our homemade meals. After a day of hiking, birding, and/or just taking in nature, relax on one of the hammocks and watch the birds fly by.
