Overview:

Hacienda Pinsaqui is ideally situated at the base of Imbabura Volcano, just 5km north of the world-famous Otavalo market and only two hours from Quito. The location is an ideal base from which to explore and allows easy access to the region's attractions, such the lakes of San Pablo, Cuicocha and Mojanda, as well as the white colonial city of Ibarra and local villages. The house was constructed in 1790 originally as a colonial textile workshop. Over the centuries, Pinsaquí has hosted numerous illustrious guests including General Simon Bolivar, the revered liberator of Ecuador, who often spent the night at the hacienda on his trips to and from Bogotá, Colombia.
