Looking to escape the pace of city life without straying too far from home? Just 90 minutes from Cuenca, La Casa Cumandá offers a tranquil retreat on the southern edge of Parque Nacional El Cajas—one of Ecuador’s most breathtaking highland landscapes.
Hosted by Esteban Arévalo, this rustic yet thoughtfully equipped casita provides an ideal setting to unplug and recharge. Wake up to sweeping mountain views framed by your window, with hummingbirds flitting among native plants and trees just outside. It’s the kind of place where fresh air and quiet aren’t luxuries—they’re the default.
Esteban is more than a host; he’s a knowledgeable local who can arrange/provide transportation, suggest or lead hikes, prepare meals, or simply share good conversation—depending on how you want to spend your time. Whether you’re traveling solo or planning a low-key getaway with friends, La Casa Cumandá offers a personalized, restorative experience.
For anyone seeking a nearby nature escape that feels worlds away, this hidden gem delivers. To learn more or book a stay, contact Esteban directly at +593 98 4577.
