I've written before about the delights of staying in one or more of the many haciendas that are available in Ecuador. Because they are owner-operated, historical and are often interwoven with the local community, they give you a richer experience than you would get if you just stay in a regular hotel. Of course if you are on a hostel budget, they would not be suitable for you, but some are reasonably affordable. As an example of what I am talking about, here is a very informative video presentation about one of my favorite haciendas:
As you can see, the Hacienda Zuleta really offers an exceptional experience (I've been there).
Not all of the other haciendas can be compared to it in every way, but they all offer historical properties that are run by the owners and have been linked to the other local inhabitants for many years. We can create itineraries with just a short stay at one property or a longer one to include 2 or more properties in other parts of the country. I did this for my doctor's family and they had a great time.
