Hacienda Zuleta is steeped in history. This working farm is rooted in the community and has been the home of the Plaza Lasso family for over a century. You will be welcomed with the warmth of long-lost family members.Â
Only 2 hours by road from Quito, Zuleta feels like it is a world away from modern life. The cuisine is deliciously fresh and inspired by local Andean recipes, and the farm produces its own tasty cheese. Gather in the evenings in peaceful courtyards under the stars or cosy up by a log fire.Â
We will include a full day with our guide and driver to explore the Otavalo region. As always, this day is designed to suit your personal interests. You may wish to awaken your senses as you discover small Andean towns and the buzz of the Otavalo Indian Market. Then take a gentle hike to Cuicocha Crater Lake for jaw-dropping views from the top of the Cotacachi Volcano.Â
Available activities at Hacienda Zuleta include horse riding, walking trails on the farm, visits to embroidery workshops, cooking lessons with the fabulous chefs and mountain biking.
