The majority of these haciendas or hosterias are located in the Andean region, old country homes whose interiors have been converted into tourist facilities offering all the modern comforts. Their colonial architecture, antique furnishings and their history create a wonderfully unique atmosphere that will capture your imagination.

A beach front ecolodge constructed primarily of bamboo in the southern Manabí province. A wonderful base from which to explore Machalilla National Park and la Ruta del Sol (Sun Route). Considered Ecuador's first ecolodge, Alándaluz has been internationally recognized for dedication to conservation and improving the quality of life in its surrounding communities through agro-ecological and traditional construction micro-enterprises.

Located right across the sea, this magnificent and innovative “Hosteria” is built mainly of bamboo; it has a private and large beach and it is surrounded by magnificent flower and organic vegetable gardens as well as small bamboo forests.

Exploration tours to the “Machallilla” National Park, where abundant fauna similar to that of Galapagos can be found, as well as marine reserve and archeological and cultural areas, can be organized at “Hostería Alándaluz” .
