This is the oldest hacienda in Ecuador, located in an area of great natural beauty and tranquillity.The surrounding countryside has a very high proportion of Indigenous farms, and is also rich in pre-Inca remains, so both the hiking and horse ridding are very special. To really live the atmosphere of the market at Otavalo we recommend the Hotel La Coraza, right in the center of town.
To the south of Quito we recommend the Hacienda La Cienega. The surrounding area is rich, intensively farmed countryside, and the views from the hacienda of the surrounding snow capped peaks are stunning. The hacienda is convenient for the lively Thursday market at Saquisili and the Cotopaxi National Park.
Beside the railway line at Machachi the Hosteria La Estacion provides really comfortable accommodation, great food and the chance to travel to Quito or Riobamba by train. |
