Hacienda La Cienega
☆☆☆
The famous hacienda La Ciénega has been owned by the descendants of the Marquises of Maenza since the 17th century. This hacienda is located at the base of the Cotopaxi volcano. The 2 meter thick walls are made of volcanic rock. Many important people in the history of Latin America have stayed here. The hacienda has beautiful gardens and a good restaurant. From here you can take trips to the Cotopaxi volcano, to Lake Quilotoa, the Indian markets of Saquisili and Pujili and take bike rides or go out on horseback.
