Honestly, it exceeded all my expectations. It's a total paradise for nature lovers and anyone seeking peace and quiet. Gabriel, his lovely wife Patty, Guido and Mauricio went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible stay.
The Hacienda is just stunning, with a huge, well-kept garden and beautiful interior. The rooms offer breathtaking views, charming touches and everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. They made sure we were never hungry, and the food was absolutely delicious.
Of course, my main focus was horseback riding. The Quilotoa Tour left me speechless at times. The scenery changed every day - from crossing fields to climbing mountains, riding through clouds, sun, rain and even hail. There wasn't a dull moment.
And I have to mention the horses - they're incredible. Strong, patient, gentle and safe - they're simply amazing.
Thanks, Gabriel for making each day so special!
P.S.: Hope Charlie is doing well 😉
