The Hacienda El Porvenir is only about 1 1/2 hours from Quito. The last 30 minutes is mostly on a rough cobblestone road that becomes a dirt road not far from the Hacienda. The road is particularly interesting in the rain. The Hacienda itself is very nice. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The public areas are very comfortable,... More

They really took care of us. The horseback ride was very memorable with incredible... More

It was our second stay at Porvenir and once again I found myself very impressed. The location is amazing, and they've put lots of care into the facility to make you feel at home. Both times we stayed in private rooms w/ bath and were very pleased with the comfort and amenities. Other family members stayed in the refugio style... More
