Federacion Plurinacional de Turismo Comunitario de Ecuador (FEPTCE)
Our rural lodges are located in the indigenous communities where you will enjoy the tranquility of the country, the hospitality of your host familiy and the cultural authenticity of the region. Each host familiy keeps a home garden, a beautiful space where dozens of vegetables, fruit trees, ornamentals an medical plants – most of which are native to the Andes – are kept for everyday use. Your stay at the lodge affords a unique opportunity to share in everyday life including visits to home gardens to taste and learn from your hosts about the plants and crops that they conserve, and their culinary or medicinal uses. We offer a wide range of tours and treks that offer a mixture of cultural, natural and adventure experiences. The trips last from one to four days and you can choose from activities like trekking, hiking or climbing to nearby vulcanoes and lakes or visits of local communities, horseback riding or cycling.The objective of our organization is to improve living conditions of its members through development projects and programs such as reforestation, environmental conservancy, indigenous healthcare, intercultural bilingual education, cultural revival and sustainable rural tourism.
