Start of tour: 08:00 a.m.
Our adventure begins heading to the charming city of Ambato, where we will take a short city tour through its historic center. We will walk through its streets full of history and tradition, visit some of its most representative buildings and, of course, taste the famous Cathedral Ice Cream.
Then, we will continue our trip to Hacienda Hipolongo Cruz de Mayo, where we will live the authentic experience of a chagra (Andean horseman).
Upon arrival, we will settle into our rooms and enjoy a delicious typical lunch. Afterward, we will have time to relax before we visit the main church of Quero and its surroundings. Later, we will visit the artisanal brewery La Quereñita, the only one in the area that produces potato-based craft beer.
In the evening, we will enjoy a comforting dinner and close the day by the warmth of the fireplace, listening to fascinating stories and legends of the hacienda.
We wake up with a pure páramo style breakfast at 08:00 a.m., charging us with energy for a day full of activities.
We will start with a walk in the pine forest, located in the upper part of the hacienda. With a little luck, we will be able to spot eagles, wolves, rabbits, and even wild cattle in their natural habitat.
On the way back, a delicious typical lunch awaits us. Afterward, we will experience the chagra tradition with a horseback riding lesson (subject to the availability of horses at the hacienda) and participate in experiential activities, where we will learn about life in the páramo and the daily work of the chagras.
After a well-deserved rest, we will enjoy a delicious dinner and again gather by the fireplace to share stories of yesteryear under the starry sky of the páramo.
We will start our last day with an energizing breakfast at 08:00 am. Afterward, we will collect our belongings and bid farewell to the hacienda to embark on our return to Quito, where our experience will come to an end.
