My adult daughter and I visited Vilcabamba in May and stayed at Tierra Madre. What an exceptional place! I have traveled extensively both for business as well as for pleasure. Everything about this place is a perfect 10. The food was exceptional as well as healthy. The service was spot on without being stuffy. The rooms ( my daughter and... More

Last month, we were planning on staying at Vilcambamba’s Madre Tierra Resort & Spa for 6 nights, but my husband and I loved the resort with its pool, views, food, friendly staff & spa, so much… we extended our stay to 9 nights total. Madre Tierra has the most delicious almost all organic food that comes mostly from their own... More

Madre Tierra review Just before entering Vilcabamba (or just after leaving, depending on your direction), You will find this rare gem in the 'Valley of Longevity', Madre Tierra. Spanish for ' Mother Earth', this place is more like a Garden of Eden for some travelers.  When home, we predominately eat organic, wholesome foods with little rice or potatoes.  Traveling through...

I stayed here for a week and a half at the end of March and loved it! All the staff are really friendly and helpful and I liked the family dynamics of the place. The rooms have a lot of character - mine had pink and blue walls with shards of glass stuck into the concrete - and there are... More

We've spent 4 nights in the hotel and everything has been wonderful. We are traveling with 4 children and we all agree it has been our best hotel experience in Ecuador. 1. Reasonable price 2. Big and clean room. The shower has abundant and hot water at all time. Amazing view. 3. The owners and their family are very welcoming... More

Our room was fantastic with a view of the Andes breathtaking to wake to each morning. I was shown another room after being told each room is unique and love both rooms! Each very... More

Two days in Vilcamamba is great. Great spa and gardens, nice rooms and friendly staff. The birdlife is amazing. One too many moggies for my liking but not their fault. I felt really relaxed here and will return one day for a longer stay. Thanks.

Two words: Friendly & Delicious! Well worth the price... During our stay we ate at several places in and about town. Madre Tierra had the best tasting and healthiest dishes for the price. Free breakfast too! Run by health conscious caring Americans who recently took over with big plans, and local village residents complete the staff. They know everybody &... More

While I agree that this place has some of the best views in all of Vilcabamba and that their free breakfast is excellent, I do not think that its grounds are exceptionally beautiful of that its staff is welcoming and helpful. The biggest negative for me were the rooms. Granted I choose to stay is what was called there "cheaper"... More
