From Quito to Hacienda El Porvenir in the Southern Andes
Nestled within the awe-inspiring "Avenue of the Volcanoes" lies the breathtaking Cotopaxi Volcano, shrouded in a blanket of pristine white snow and magnificent glaciers that tower an impressive 19,348 feet above sea level. Your adventure begins with a scenic one-and-a-half-hour drive from Quito to El Porvenir, a working Hacienda that boasts 1000 hectares of land, with 20% dedicated to crop farming, 20% exclusively reserved for reforestation to preserve the natural habitat, and 60% devoted to cattle farming.
Upon arrival, you will have the option to choose from a range of exhilarating activities. Why not embark on a journey of discovery and immerse yourself in the local culture by joining the Andean cowboys, also known as Chagras, on a horseback ride through the farmland? The hacienda has a rich tradition in Chagra culture, making Tierra del Volcan the perfect choice for horseback rides in the region. You can also explore the Hacienda's vast expanse on a mountain or electric bike and marvel at the unique scenery on offer.
With so much to explore at El Porvenir, this Hacienda is the perfect destination for an unforgettable day full of adventure and excitement.
