ABRASPUNGO - Chimborazo

The "HOSTERIA ABRASPUNGO" is located at the 3 kilometer marker on the way to Guano city, in a residential suburb named “Las Abras”, in the city of Riobamba. It’s name comes from two words:

“ABRAS”: from the Spanish word “abra”, which means a deep rupture in the hard earth, caused by erosion from water.

“PUNGO”: from quichua “pungu”, which means door or entrance.

ABRASPUNGO is also the name of a glacial valley which is located between the mountains Chimborazo and Carihuairazo, at 4.000 Mts. above sea level.

The idea to build ABRASPUNGO, began with the purpose of providing comfortable and peaceful lodging for our customers, in peaceful countryside surroundings which offer the special micro-climate characteristic of the Guano valley.
