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.

Hosteria San Luis is a unique destination in Ecuador's Northern Andes, combining modern amenities with the charm of a traditional hacienda. Nestled on a hillside in the lush and tranquil valley of majestic Mt. Cayambe (elevation 18,750ft ), the hosteria is a fine example of Spanish colonial architecture in a setting of wide open pastures, enchanting gardens and forests of Eucalyptus trees. The unique environs and special blend of comfort and adventure are certain to fill you with the energy that only being immersed in nature can bring.

Ideally located just twenty minutes from the world renowned indigenous market of Otavalo and only an hours drive from Quito, Hosteria San Luis is itself another beautiful addition to any traveler's itinerary. Hosteria San Luis is family owned and is part of a working ranch dedicated to breeding fighting bulls, dairy cows and is also involved in organic agriculture.
