Riobamba, Ecuador
La Andaluza is set in an historic Hacienda, surrounded by tradition and history as well as the mountains and volcanoes. The Hacienda is found 10 miles outside of Riobamba in the Indian area known as Chuquipoggio, meaning watershed, from the Indian words chuqui (water) and poggio (shed), signifying that water flows there. This 300 year old Hacienda was a meeting spot of patriotic Ecuadorians in 1830 planning the freedom of Ecuador, including Simon Bolivar.
The Andalusian-style patio at the back is one of the particular features of the site and the reason why it is called La Andaluza . Weddings and receptions are held there.
The corridors of the old part of the hacienda are part of a private museum. There are more than 1,000 pieces. The most valuable, according to experts, are images of religious art. There are works from the Quito and Cusco schools of art.
Guests can request horseback riding along the trails surrounding the hacienda, and additionally day trips to Chimborazo can be arranged.
The hacienda has two meeting rooms and 56 guest rooms.
Fine dining is available in the Dining Room.
