Hacienda El Porvenir by Tierra del Volcan

True to tradition acerage and horseback riding and mountain biking Close to Capotaxi volcano High altitude fresh air

Dining a little wanting breakfast a little limited food was good though

Everything about it and the people running it. The scenery was outstanding.

There is a lot of roadwork if you go in from the Machachi side. You need a high vehicle to navigate it.

Beautiful buildings with character and great attention to detail. Staff were excellent and we were very comfortable at all times. The fireplace ideas there room was a lovely touch and it was lit for us every night. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the included breakfast superb. Could easily stay here more than 2 nights. Great views as well.

Activities can book out early so plan ahead.

Hacienda El Porvenir was one of the highlights of our trip to Ecuador. The setting is simply breathtaking, with spectacular views towards Cotopaxi and beautiful grounds that perfectly capture the atmosphere of the Ecuadorian Andes. The entire hacienda is full of character, immaculately maintained, and offers a genuine, authentic experience. The 4-hour horseback ride was outstanding and worth every penny. The horses were well cared for, the guides were professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and the scenery throughout the ride was incredible. Returning to the hacienda for lunch was the perfect finish to a fantastic morning. The food was excellent throughout our stay, and every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. If you're visiting Cotopaxi National Park, I honestly can't think of a better place to stay. We would return without hesitation and highly recommend Hacienda El Porvenir to anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality Andean experience.
