A family from Peru spent a full day discovering Loja — and left with a lot more than they expected.

We had a wonderful day guiding a Peruvian family through the city, going well beyond the obvious stops to show them the side of Loja that most visitors never get to see. Hidden gems, local food, parks, the windmills overlooking the valley, and plenty of moments in between that are hard to plan but easy to remember.

By the end of the day they called it unforgettable. That is everything we aim for.

To our guests from Peru — it was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. Thank you for trusting us with your time in our city.

A family from Peru discovering Vilcabamba. A relaxed and beautiful day in the valley.

We took in the views from the lookout points surrounding the valley, tried local food, and wound down the day at the Capamaco River — clean, calm, and exactly the kind of place that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

To our guests from Peru — thank you for spending the day with us. Vilcabamba was glad to have you.

If this valley is on your list, get in touch and we will put the day together for you.

🌳 Why do so many visitors fall in love with Loja? Start with Parque Jipiro. 💚

One of Loja’s most beloved landmarks, Parque Jipiro, is getting ready to welcome thousands of visitors for the upcoming travel season—and it’s easy to see why.

Covering nearly 15 hectares (37 acres), Jipiro is much more than a city park. It’s one of Loja’s largest urban green spaces, where nature, recreation, culture, and community all come together.

Take a peaceful walk along tree-lined trails, watch herons, kingfishers, ducks, and other birdlife around the lagoon, enjoy replicas of famous landmarks from around the world, or simply relax in one of the city’s most beautiful outdoor spaces.

🏞️ Families love the playgrounds, sports courts, boating lake, and swimming pool. Culture lovers can enjoy free Sunday performances featuring traditional music, dance, and folklore. History enthusiasts will appreciate the restored railway locomotive that now serves as a unique café.

One of the things we love most about Jipiro is that it reflects the lifestyle of Loja itself—clean, safe, green, and full of life. It’s not just a tourist attraction; it’s where locals exercise, spend weekends with family, enjoy cultural events, and connect with nature.

That’s why Parque Jipiro is one of the highlights of our Loja City Tour and Expat Relocation Tour. If you’re thinking about visiting—or even moving to southern Ecuador—this is one of those places that helps you understand why so many people choose to call Loja home.

**A mother and daughter from Guayaquil visiting Loja for the first time. Two hours well spent.**

We had a lovely morning guiding a mom and daughter who made the trip from Guayaquil to discover what Loja has to offer. First time in the city, two hours on foot, and by the end of it they had a genuine feel for what makes this place worth the journey.

It is always satisfying to share Loja with visitors from within Ecuador who have not yet made it to the south. The city has a character and a pace that tends to surprise people, and these two were no exception.

To our guests from Guayaquil — thank you for spending your morning with us. Come back and we will show you even more.

**Two chairs. No agenda. Just this.**

This is Vilcabamba — a small valley parish 45 minutes south of Loja city, sitting at around 5,000 feet elevation in the Andes of southern Ecuador.

The weather here is warm and stable year-round. Not tropical humid. Not cold. That rare Andean sweet spot where you sleep with the window open every night and never think about heating or air conditioning again.

Retirees from the US, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia — they found this place decades ago and quietly built lives here. Some came for a week and never left. You'll meet them at the small cafés, on the hiking trails, at the Saturday market. People who had perfectly good lives back home and chose this instead.

It's not for everyone. Vilcabamba is small. It's peaceful to the point that some people find it too quiet. There's no mall, no highway, no noise after 9pm.

But for the right person — someone who wants mornings like this one, with Andean mountains on every side and absolutely nowhere to be — it tends to feel less like a destination and more like an answer.

Two hours, one great client, and a city that always delivers.

We had a wonderful morning with a visitor from the United States who joined us for a two hour walking tour of Loja. Short, focused, and packed with the kind of local knowledge that turns a walk into something worth remembering.

She loved every bit of it — and that is always the best way to end a tour.

If you are short on time but still want to experience Loja properly, two hours with a local guide goes a long way. Get in touch and we will make it count.
