Maquipucuna Ecolodge & Reserve
Corredor Ecológico del Oso Andino
For 35 years Maquipucuna has acted as a beacon of light within the Chocó Andino bioregion, jump-starting conservation in continental Ecuador. Covering over 14,000 acres, the Maquipucuna Reserve is the product of a lifetime’s work. Maquipucuna has invested in the research and protection of one of the top 5 biodiversity hotspots in the world; including that of endangered species such as the Andean (spectacled) bear.
Maquipucuna is a place for families, couples, adventurists, and wildlife lovers to learn, explore and play. Maquipucuna is located a mere 2 hours from Ecuador’s capital, Quito. Tucked in between the mountains of the Chocó Andino Biosphere reserve, at the heart of the Andean Bear Ecological Corridor, the reserve is the perfect place to learn, discover, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
