Ecuador Hotels

The country house serves as home of the owner and his family and also has nine thoughtfully decorated bedrooms, each with fireplace, bathroom, beds with white duck feather duvets and a beautiful view of the farm.

The Hacienda can accommodate up to 18 persons and is located in an Andean Valley an hour and 15 minutes traveling south from Quito through the "Avenue of the Volcanoes" to Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world; it is 55 km south of Quito, 13 km north of Latacunga (Capital of the province of Cotopaxi) and 40 km north of Ambato (Capital of the Province of Tungurahua).

Sustainable Tourism

The Hacienda still works as a dairy ranch and uses Ecuadorian labor to keep its 86 acres of pastures well cared for and green.

Most of the dairy production is sold in the area for the artisanal fabrication of other dairy goods; in this way it contributes to the community and helps its improvement. In the Hacienda's kitchen some of this milk is used to make cheese, butter, yogurt, cream and sour cream to be consumed by guests and inhabitants.

Composting reduces the amount of waste sent to the landfills and produces a nutrient rich organic fertilizer used in the insecticide-free vegetable garden.
