Hacienda Zuleta - Otavalo

Hacienda Description:

Located between 2870 and 3050 meters in the Andean mountains of Northern Ecuador and 110 kilometers north of Quito, the Hacienda Zuleta can be reached within two hours from the capital.

Over the years, the hacienda have had the pleasure of opening their doors to a selected number of guests and have hosted unique and interesting visitors from all over the world. Although the number of guests has increased in recent times, they continue to provide a personalized service within a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere – all that the privacy of a family home has to offer.

The expansive Zuleta grounds include a working dairy farm, a cheese manufacturer as well as gardens and agricultural plots where different fruits and vegetables are grown. There is also a trout farm, sheep farming and a horse-breeding barn.

Zuleta is as famous for its horses and riding program as it is for its history and hospitality. Riding has been a Plaza family tradition for over one hundred years, and today Zuleta reflects this equestrian affinity by boasting one of the most exclusive stables in Ecuador. Zuleta is also known for its Zuleteño horse which is a unique mixture of Spanish-Andalusian, English and Quarter horses. The outcome of this cross-breeding is a robust Andean horse with a good disposition for riding.

Accommodation:

The 12 rooms are located in the main building of the hacienda, which dates back to 1691. As the building is from colonial times, every room has its different shape and charm. Suites and adjoining rooms for families are also available. Individually decorated with antiques, authentic family pictures and hand embroidered linens, the rooms transmit the feeling of a private home. The rooms have beautiful garden and mountain views and some provide access to private gardens, terraces or a courtyard where hummingbirds feed.

The rooms have double beds either queen or king size, with four pillows and anti-allergic bedding. While you are enjoying your dinner, room service staff place hot water bottles with beautiful embroidered cases in every bed and light the fireplaces.
