Quero & Traditional Hacienda: 3 Day-Tour
Quero & Traditional Hacienda: 3 Day-Tour
Day 1
We'll meet at 12 pm at Hacienda Hipolongo Cruz de Mayo. There, you'll be welcomed and then given free time to settle into your room and get ready for the rest of the afternoon's activities.
Afterwards, we'll have a delicious lunch - of course, typical of the region. After lunch, we'll have a look around at the facilities at the hacienda or farm. You'll learn all about how the farm animals live, and what and how products are harvested.
Then, we'll travel to the town of Quero to visit the Quero Central Park and the Diocesan Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Monte, which are steeped in history and tradition. We'll then move on to Puñachizac, a little corner of the region of Quero where we'll find the artisan brewery La Quereñita. The brewery is famous for making beer out of potatoes!
In the evening, back at the hacienda, we'll enjoy a dinner to end the day by the warmth of the campfire while listening to stories of the past.
Day 2
The next morning we'll have a good breakfast to start our day with plenty of energy. First, we'll set off for the pine forest in the upper part of the hacienda, and from there we'll embark on an exciting hiking route. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife! If we're lucky we might be able to see moorland animals such as eagles, wolves, rabbits and even wild cattle.
We'll finish the hike back at the hacienda, where a traditional local lunch will be waiting for us. But there are still more activities to come! You'll discover the Páramo del Igualata moorland in the most unique way possible - on horseback. Don't worry if you can't ride a horse you'll be given an expert lesson! As you ride through the natural landscape of the Igualata páramo you'll be amazed by stunning views of volcanoes and snow-capped mountains such as Tungurahua, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo and Carihuayrazo!
We'll end the day with dinner.
Day 3
On the last day at Hacienda Hipolongo Cruz de Mayo, we'll have a delicious breakfast and leave you with some free time to collect your luggage. Finally, we'll say goodbye at 11 am.
