Hacienda La Alegría

Hacienda La Alegria is a family-run farm in the heart of Ecuador’s ‘Avenue of the Volcanoes’ just one hour south of Quito. Offering traditional hospitality, this beautiful hacienda and its friendly owners will make each guest feel literally at home. Enjoy home cooked meals, read by the fireplace in the historical house’s living room, meander through the rose gardens or just relax and enjoy the breathtaking views out of the huge picture windows of your comfortable guest room. Above all, Haceinda La Alegria specializes in unforgettable horseback rides and unique ‘chagra’ culture (Ecuadorian cowboys). Host Gabriel Espinosa comes from a family steeped in equestrian heritage and his knowledge and passion comes through to guests at his ranch. Catering for experienced and novice riders alike, a ride through the stunning landscapes at La Alegria is an experience not to be missed.
