Hacienda Zuleta

Welcome to the stunning 17th-century hotel and working-farm of former Ecuador President Galo Plaza Lasso and his family. Created with natural warmth, hospitality, and community ties, Hacienda Zuleta boasts beautiful antique rooms, delicious home-grown Andean cuisine, and a wealth of a-la-carte activities.

Cradled in an Andean valley at 9,600' above sea level and only two hours north of Quito, historic Hacienda Zuleta offers guests a raw and authentic experience steeped in four centuries Ecuadorian history and tradition.  The working farm sprawls over 4,000 acres and has been owned and operated by the family of Mr. Galo Plaza Lasso, former president of Ecuador, for over 100 years. Guests are warmly welcomed in the historic home, which features antique gardens, family heirlooms, hand-embroidered linens, and cozy fireplaces in each of the 20 guest rooms. A condor and spectacled bear conservation project, pre-Incan burial mounds, indigenous handicraft cooperatives, and a working farm are all tied into Zuleta's sustainable community tourism initiatives, which can be explored by guests on foot, horseback, bike, and vehicle.
