Description

Begin your day with a scenic hike to Condor Machay Waterfall, one of the most beautiful cascades in the Ecuadorian highlands. Follow a trail that winds through lush green valleys and along a crystal-clear river until the thunderous waterfall appears. Pause, breathe, and connect with nature in this serene setting. After the hike, continue to Hacienda El Porvenir, nestled at the foothills of Cotopaxi Volcano. Here, choose your own experience: Saddle up for a horseback ride across open páramo landscapes, feeling the freedom of the Andes as you ride alongside local chagras (cowboys). Or, join a hands-on cooking class and learn how to prepare Ecuadorian favorites like crispy empanadas, spicy ají sauce, and the warm, cinnamon-infused canelazo drink. Before returning to Quito, unwind with access to the hacienda’s jacuzzi and traditional temazcal (steam lodge) - a soothing ritual to relax your muscles after a day of exploration.
