Haciendas

We thoroughly recommend a relaxing stay at one of Ecuador's original country haciendas, some dating back hundreds of years to the days of the Spanish conquistadors. Enojoy a taste of Ecuadorian rural life in comfortable surroundings with local cuisine and warm hospitality.

As well as enjoying the scenery, many activities are on offer such as horse-riding, wild-life viewing and birding, hiking, swimming, fishing and mountain biking. Visit nearby attractions, such as the market town of Otavalo, colonial Baños, the volcanos south of Quito, the ruins at Quitoloma and Oyacachi hot springs.
