Perched above the clouds in the lush hills of El Cupey, El Gallo Ecolodge is far enough off the beaten path to feel like a true escape.
We are located in Loma Del Gallo, El Cupey, just 15 minutes from Puerto Plata, near the Teleférico, and offer tours, excursions, villas for rent, and catering for your business or family events. Our guests include international tourists as well as Dominicans looking to escape to the countryside and enjoy the beauty that this area has to offer. El Gallo Ecolodge captures the authentic experience of the countryside within a short distance of the city.
At El Gallo, we serve fresh, local and natural products, much of which we grow on our organic farm, which makes meals at El Gallo a truly special event. All our food is cooked over an open fire in the tradition of the Dominican countryside. We invite you to tour our project that includes a wide variety of plants and herbs used in local cuisine and traditional medicine. We know where your food comes from and we think you should know too!
El Gallo Ecolodge participates with pride in sustainable tourism. Our goal is to have a positive impact on the environment, the community, and the economy. That’s why, whenever possible, we go local! From our walls to our walkways, we built El Gallo with the help of talented local artisans. Our food also comes from local sources, and much of our fruits and vegetables are right grown here following permaculture principles. El Gallo is powered by solar energy and gets its water from the springs of Loma del Gallo. We are connected with local businesses and community service groups and are pleased to arrange opportunities for you to participate in the rewards of this exceptional community.
Part of the joint growth is to work with other artesanal companies in the El Cupey region. We offer a Gastronomic Tour of El Cupey that includes Mr. Cid and his honey products, the company Queso Mora in El Cupey and Dulces de Giselle in Naranjal. Perhaps most importantly, we have a close relationship with the local elected officials and the Mothers’ Club in an ongoing effort to support the local community.
El Gallo offer seasonal visits to the El Cupey Caves, a caving system within walking distance of El Gallo. Local guides take will take you on a walking tour to visit this pristine natural attraction.
