Ecuador Hotels

Uzhupud is situated at an altitude of 2,180 meters above sea level, in one of the sacred places of the ancient Cañaris: the Totemic Valley of the Paute River. This region boasts the delightful spring climate of the Andean subtropics. This provides the best environment for nature to manifest itself through the vegetation:

• Exotic flowers, alfalfa and peach tree fields, alders and willows
• The famous sugar cane used in the production of the best brandy and rum in Ecuador
• The old orchards of avocado, lemons, tangerines and apricots

Uzhupud means “Hot Chili Pepper Valley”. This name seems to gracefully combine two native languages: Uzhu which in Quichua means hot chili pepper, and Pud which in Cañari means plain, flat, and ample place.

Hostería Uzhupud is located 40 minutes from Cuenca, near the town of Paute, in the Province of Azuay.
