Hacienda El Porvenir, Cotopaxi

Beautiful hacienda. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We loved our horseback riding tour followed by sweat lodge and spa.

Great team and managers, Mattia was very polite and respective of our needs during our stay. The rooms are very pretty, warm, and comfortable, and the views are breathtaking. I would definitely stay there again, and hope to return soon! Oh, and the restaurant was delicious.

Very comfortable room and we found the food to be outstanding! Staff were so kind and welcoming and the location was magical!

I loved the incredible atmosphere at the hacienda. We had great views of Cotopaxi once the rains cleared. The room was small but nice. The living room was so comfortable, with a nice fireplace and comfy couches. I had a very relaxing massage. The food was great and the staff welcoming, providing an interesting history of the place.

This was our favorite lodging during our entire trip: the location is beautiful (you can take hikes around the property); the rooms comfortable, spacious, and with a lovely local aesthetic (and our own wood stove!); the breakfasts and dinner absolutely delish; the staff wonderful.

My husband liked it well enough, but I didn’t. The road to get there is horrible and long—-the end result was simply not worth it. The food was not that good and yet more expensive than more upscale haciendas. ; extra charge for eggs with breakfast. I unwisely ordered a salad — forgetting that any greens wouldn’t necessarily be washed with purified water and I guess they weren’t. I got quite ill for days afterwards. The rooms are rustic at best. Granted, it’s a farm kind of hacienda. But it’s a very arduous and uncomfortable drive for a not very remarkable experience. I saw some nose-to-tail horse riding in the cold mist going on. It was clouded in, so any advertised amazing views of Cotapaxi weren’t going to happen. Cotapaxi views are more easily had anywhere else. So even without the getting-sick experience, I just would not recommend this place.

Spectacular location, hard to get to.
