Campo Duro Ecolodge — Hotel in Parroquia Tomás de Berlanga (Santo Tomás)

We camped here for two nights and had a wonderful time. The location is far from town so the taxi ride is $10 each time. The tents were set up, clean, and had comfortable mattresses in them. Towels and bedding were already set up. We ate breakfast and dinner there each night - the food was simple yet delicious. They are also a turtle habitat, helping reacclimate them before they are release to the wild. We saw one huge one! The gardens are gorgeous, too. There are many chickens, roosters, and dogs in the area so bring your earplugs! There are indoor showers, but our group preferred to use the outdoor showers which area shielded with screening and landscaping. The host was so thoughtful. He arranged a cab to take us to some of the local sights including the Cueva de Sucre, Mirador el Mango, and the Posada de Flamengos. He also set up a screen tent in the field so we could star gaze at night. There is fresh, treated drinking water available and a place to charge your phones. Bring your bug lotion for the mosquitos. Cash only! Get cash before you come to Isabella. We were able to get cash sporadically in Puerto Villamil. There were only four in our group and had the place to ourselves. They can accommodate very large groups at this...

I camped for 3 nights in Peru and this was absolute luxury compared to Peru! I was really impressed with the size of the 2 man tents. You could stand up and had so much room in them. The campsite provided you with a mattress, sheet, pillow and bed throw. The toilets and showers were kept clean. The only problem I encountered when using the facilities was getting disturbed by big spiders and wasps! It's all part of the experience though. I was quite impressed with the plumbing there. The meals were nice and consisted of bread, eggs, fruit, fried plantane, tea/coffee etc. I wasn't prepared for the humidity though, I'd definitely recommend packing everything in dry bags as once things get damp, it's hard to dry it out. Also my Samsung Galaxy stopped working here as the moisture had go inside the phone so I had to use a waterproof document wallet to keep it dry. I didn't sleep very well as there Cockerels and Cats were making noises all night! But again, it's all part of the experience. I really enjoyed my stay here as the grounds are really nice too. You could go on nature walks and see the Giant Tortoise or going and look at the different fruit trees. I'd definitely...

This place is like stepping into The Hobbit films with a rustic bar and dining area. My tour group stopped here for two nights and had a fantastic time. Including a brilliant camp fire beneath the stars( organised with the help of staff) ||||The camp is a private bus (or taxi) ride from the main town on Isabella. But it is worth it for the peaceful and rural location. ||||The food was excellent and the group served themselves. There was a lot of food at breakfast including pancakes and scrambled egg. ||||There were spaces for us to store our bags and dry our clothes after a day of snorkelling. The toilets and showers were clean but did tend to feature very large spiders lol. Understandably for the location the water is cold. ||||The tents were very comfortable with air matresses and blankets provided but I would recommend taking a small sleeping bag or sleeping bag liner.||||The camp have their own resident giant tortoises and a nature walk. ||||I love this place and would definitely stay again given an...
