Cabañas Río Yambala are set in the midst of a typical andean rural community, offering a unique cultural experience and
"the best access to the most popular
hiking trails in Vilcabamba"
For local hiking and birding, maps with directions guide you to swimming holes along the river; to local beauty spots; or into the heart of the mountains and to the edge of the cloud forest.
Our color bird guide has photos of the most common species around the cabins.
We can help organize trips to our cloud forest reserve, Las Palmas, & the Podocarpus National Park.
Birds of Las Palmas, funded by the Nature Conservancies parks in peril program, documents over 180 bird species recorded on the reserve.
In accordance with Eco-Tourism ideals our Guides are from the local community, giving them an unrivaled knowledge of the mountains, local flora and fauna and herbal remedies. They are extremely familiar with Las Palmas Nature Reserve and this area of the Podocarpus National Park, experienced at handling horses and patient and sensitive toward non Spanish speakers and inexperienced riders.
