Riding into a verdant valley described by many guests as the most beautiful they have ever seen, we arrive at a small, secluded Hacienda to be met by a charming couple that delight in sharing their slice of heaven with us.

Testimonials

“There was something just so special about this Hacienda. Its charm coupled with the friendly, welcoming people made it an unforgettable experience. My wakeup call was the lovely sound of horses and cows right outside my window! The meals, prepared by the ladies dressed in their beautiful Andean clothing, were all made with delicious fresh ingredients grown on the farm. Walking through the Hacienda was like walking back in time, to a wonderful time - the portraits hung on the walls in the hallway and dining room all

told a story.”
