The most enjoyable stay in the Ecuadorian highlands only minutes from Quito.

Hacienda "La Carriona"  is located in the beautiful Valley of Los Chillos, a brief drive south down the highway from Quito.   Constructed as an hacienda more than two-hundred years ago, "La Carriona"  stands as a monument to Ecuador's colonial history.   Its stone courtyard and garden hint of the exuberant Spanish Colonial lifestyle, while its  name reminds us that it once belonged to the renowned Carrión family, La Carriona's thick adobe walls have witnessed significant events in Ecuador's  history.  In the mid 1800s, the house belonged to the  distinguished family, Fernández  Salvador.   In 1830, the patriarch of this family, Don José Fernández Salvador , was appointed president of the first Constitutional Assembly.  This Assembly laid the foundation for both the Ecuadorian constitution and nation.

Today, the hacienda accommodates guests amidst tranquil surroundings.  Located on the outskirts of the capital, "La Carriona"  is a great  option for those looking for easy access to Quito and the tourist attractions of the Ecuadorian Sierra. 

The Hacienda is minutes away from  the protected forest of the Pasochoa.  It  offers easy access to the Cotopaxi National Park and the southern part of the country.   If you are interested in visiting  Ecuador's  highlands, "La Carriona" should be a part of your travel plans.
