Madre Tierra Resort and Spa (Bam, Iran, Islamic Republic of)

A recent guest to this destination Hotel, Spa, Restaurant and Conference Center described his stay here as "just like being on Maui". He was referring to the beautiful, lush vegetation and general feel of this unique jewel in the Andes. At an elevation of 5000 feet, a short distance south of the equator, the consistent Spring-like climate here is conducive to growing delicious organic fruits and vegetables year round. In fact many of the ingredients in Madre Tierra''s lobby restaurant are harvested from gardens on site or just down the road. New owners in May of 2010 are health minded and have cleansed the kitchen of aluminum cookware, microwave ovens, fluoride salt and MSG. It is a good start on the way to a goal of exclusively organic fruits, produce and natural meat sources. An oasis on a hill overlooking the Valley of Longevity and Mandango, many guests have a difficult time leaving this special place. The “desert” menu includes a full range of natural, non fattening Spa services that are as memorable as the Bananas Flambé ado. Madre Tierra has been nominated by travel agents three times for the World Travel Awards, Leading Spa Resort in Ecuador! Come and see why. Free lobby internet and $4 per day WiFi in most rooms.
