Hacienda La Alegria

La Alegria is a family-run organic farm in the heart of Ecuador's "Avenue of the Volcanoes". We are situated one hour south of the historic colonial city of Quito, the capital of Ecuador. It offers traditional hospitality with a touch of luxury at our beautiful hacienda. They cater for independent travellers and larger groups and can tailor a package for most requirements. Above all, at La Alegria we specialise in horseback vacations amid the majesty of the high Andes of the Equator.

Yanahurco

Imagine yourself riding through the highlands, green hills, limitless skies, majestic snow covered volcanoes at the horizon. A herd of wild horses flies across the golden patches of afternoon sun on the moorland grass. That's the time for deer and the spectacled bear to come out in search of their favorite delicacy.

Tambopaxi

Tambopaxi is an ecotourism complex designed as a recreation and acclimatisation centre, complete with its own restaurant, hostel and camping site. Situated in the Cotopaxi National Park, at 3,750m above sea level, the site is surrounded by a really spectacular view.
