Haciendas Andean Highlands

Location:
Located between 2870 and 3050 meters in the Andean mountains of Northern Ecuador and 110 kilometers north of Quito, the Hacienda can be reached within two hours from the capital. All guests are provided with private transportation to and from Zuleta. Airport pick-ups can also be arranged with advance notice.

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.

Zuleta is a nineteen room estate with nine rooms available to guests. Open only to a limited number of visitors per year, Zuleta hospitality retains an intimacy, warmth and sincerity reminiscent of a century past. Additionally, Zuleta offers a privacy rarely achieved in the 20th century.

At Zuleta you are a guest of our family and you are welcomed as such. All guests receive a private room with hand-embroidered linens and beautiful garden views. You will be invited to relax at your leisure in our cozy reading and living rooms, which have entertained their own entourage of famous visitors including past presidents and dignitaries.
