Sample Itinerary
Day One - Travel to Pinsaqui
This morning we'll travel north from Quito along Route 35 as we head towards the market town of Otavalo. We'll be rewarded with some stunning scenery along the way and we'll arrive at the lovely Hosteria Pinsaqui in time for lunch. You will then have the rest of the afternoon free to relax and enjoy the private gardens.
Day Two - Otavalo Market
Unlike those who are travelling from Quito today, you will be able to get up at a more civilized hour and still get to the famous Otavalo market nice and early to seek out some bargains! You can check out the beautiful local textiles, haggle over some excellent leather goods, or just sit back with an Ecuadorean coffee and take it all in! After a full day here, we will return to Pinsaqui in the evening.
Day Three - Horse-riding or mountain-biking
Time to live out your gaucho fantasies today as we take you out onto the slopes of the nearby Imbabura volcano on some of the hacienda's superb horses. Or you can do the whole thing in a more modern style on a mountain-bike trip instead!
Day Four - Back to Quito
Your Andean adventure will come to an end today as, after a relaxing final morning here at Pinsaqui, we take you back by private car to Quito, where you'll arrive in the late afternoon.
