Possibly one of the most sustainable retreats in the Galápagos, the cabin operates entirely off-grid using solar energy. Rainwater is collected and filtered for use, while wastewater is naturally treated on-site and nourishes the surrounding fruit trees. The structure is built from invasive wood species like Cedrela, giving new purpose to materials that would otherwise threaten native habitats.
Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire 2.5-acre (10,000 m²) property with complete privacy. The cabin is the only guest accommodation on the land. You’re welcome to explore the open spaces and walking paths that wind through fruit trees and areas of natural endemic forest, including giant guayabillo trees.
The cabin is off-grid and designed for low-impact living; electricity and water are reliable but should be used mindfully.
Located in a quiet rural area near Cascajo, the property is about 25 minutes from Puerto Ayora. The drive passes through open countryside and small local farms, with the national park just next door.
We are walking distance (1,5km) from Trapiche Ecológico where the public bus passes every hour.
Taxis are the most practical way to get around, and we’re happy to help arrange taxis for our guests.
