Cozy hacienda, great facilities, friendly and accommodating staff, amazing surroundings!
Gorgeously located close to the northern entrance of Cotopaxi national park. However, the road to El Porvenir takes almost an hour by car on small bumpy, dirt- and cobblestone roads from Machachi - it's a rough drive.
We had a cozy and clean room, the staff kept the fireplace busy in the evening, and the common living rooms were very nice.
A great variety of activities are offered here, horseback riding, hikes, mountain bike rental and trails, cooking classes in Spanish, the list goes on.
The food in the restaurant varied quite a lot, some dishes were very tasty and delicious, such as the pork and beef dishes, but some of the corn were quite boring.
The facilities include a small spa and sweat lodge. The spa pools were great, but the sweat lodge never got hot when we visited.
