AWARDS, REVIEWS, AND GUEST'S COMPLIMENTS

At Zuleta we are proud of the great feedback we have received about the operation of our Hacienda.

TRAVEL AND LEISURE“A stay here is an intimate affair. On cool days guests gather in the sitting room, where wine is served in front of a perpetually burning fire, along with cheeses made on the premises”.

OUTSIDE “Surprising, isn't it, how often you can work the conversation around to the fact that you've slept in a house that belongs to the presidential family? His descendants will treat you like a member of the family at Hacienda Zuleta, a historic retreat in the Andean cloud forest…”

NAT GEO “First condors, now a rare bear sighting. I feel like I've just won the Andean wildlife lottery. But maybe it's not only luck. Maybe it has something to do with how this hacienda manages its resources.”

CULTURE“Today, it is one of Ecuador’s most famous and best-preserved haciendas, renowned not just for its cheese, excellent food, and carefully bred horses, but for its conservation and philanthropic programs as well.”

GEOFriedemann Köster, a German zoologist living in Ecuador, presents one of his condors to the owners and workers of a hacienda to convince people of the harmlessness of the large vultures.

CONDENAST“It’s clear that Galo Plaza Lasso, who set up the cheese factory, the school, a savings and loan, and a social club, had the vision to make the hacienda part of the community as well as an engine of its sustainability, rather than becoming a set-apart aristocratic crash pad”.
