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.

Tambopaxi is an ecotourism complex designed as a recreation and acclimatisation centre, complete with its own restaurant, hostel and camping site. Situated in the Cotopaxi National Park, at 3,750m above sea level, the site is surrounded by a really spectacular view.

One of Tambopaxi's main objectives is to encourage recreational activities within the setting of the paramo ecosystem. Our exclusive position enables both local and foreign tourists to enjoy short and easy strolls, all day hikes or even longer treks. These walks will help to prepare your body for higher climbs, making Tambopaxi an ideal place to acclimatise for mountain tours. You may also choose to organise a walk with llamas or a horseback ride, by contacting members of the El Pedregal or Loreto community.
