"Hacienda Picaqlui, located one and a half hours northeast of Quito along the Pan-American Highway, close to Tabacundo.
The hacienda is set in 25 hectares of agro-ecologically farmed land, with stunning views of the Andes; the snow capped Volcano Cayambe to the east, to the north Volcano Fuya Fuya who's extinct crater contains the Lagunas de Mojanda. and in the distant south the peak of Cotopaxi can be seen on a clear day.
The infrastructure, now approaching 100 years of age in places, is made of traditional materials, with walls up to 3 feet thick in places. Of course over the years we have provided the modern touches to create a homey feel to the hacienda, a place where people can come to relax and forget the stresses of the city." |
