Hosteria La Cienega

 

Hosteria La Cienega is one of Ecuador's oldest colonial haciendas. Situated near the slopes of the majestic Cotopaxi volcano and its National Park, this mansion has been the scene of important happenings in the scientific and social history of the country. Today, tastefully converted into a first-class hotel, La Cienega offers you an unique experience of staying in this colonial jewel, within its thick volcanic stone walls that stand as silent witnesses to the history of a people and the poetry of an era. Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty of the landscape and the rich folklore of Ecuador's indigenous people, La Cienega is important insight into the Andes. The hacienda has 32 rooms, all with private bathroom, hot running water, telephone and heater. Besides the bar and restaurant featuring fine national and international cuisine, there is a chapel (frequently used for weddings), sports facilities, trout fishing, horseback riding, mountain bikes and beautiful gardens at your fingertips.
