Accommodations

All of the buildings on the grounds of Casa Mojanda utilize traditional methods of construction. Structural walls of rammed earth provide cooling during the day and retain and slowly release their solar gain throughout the evening. Enormous hand molded terra cotta bricks link structural details while complementing the brilliant adobe walls. Hand formed roof tiles, of native red clay, and red tile floors provide the perfect counterpoint to the massive white walls.

There are 8 guest cottages. Each cottage has a garden, bath and private terrace overlooking beautiful mountains.

Our kitchen serves healthful and creative home cooked meals served family style and based on traditional Ecuadorian and international recipes and made from our own produce harvested daily from our our organic gardens. We grow our own wheat, quinoa, corn and potatoes, and get fresh milk daily from Dominga, our cow. Guests are always welcome to spend time in the garden and kitchen. We are happy to accommodate special diets and requests.
