HACIENDA ZULETA

IMBABURA, ECUADOR

Set amidst the giddy heights of the Andes at 9,600 feet, Hacienda Zuleta has been in the family of the late Galo Plaza Lasso, a former president of Ecuador, for more than 100 years.

 

Chosen as one of the world's "Top Ten Finds" by Outside Magazine, this gem offers up an authentic retreat with no creature comforts spared and plenty of adventure for everyone. Only two hours north of Quito, Hacienda Zuleta sits flanked by smoking volcanoes and rich fertile farmland; it is also the only spot on earth where a temperature of zero degrees Celsius coincides with latitude zero.

The Hacienda and guest rooms are furnished with colonial pieces and family heirlooms, and each comes with its own fireplace to stave off the chilly Andean nights. The food is locally produced, much of it from the farm itself, and they take tremendous pride in their delicious Ecuadorian cuisine. Activities include horseback riding, hiking, and cultural experiences.
