The Hacienda
Constructed in 1790, Otavalo Hotel, Hacienda Pinsaquí was originally a colonial textile enterprise, employing over one thousand weavers and spinners. Many of Pinsaquí's fabrics were exported to the United States in the late 1800s where they first received international recognition. To this day, the Hacienda retains the character and authenticity of its earlier incarnation, making for a unique travel experience.
Over the centuries Pinsaquí has hosted numerous illustrious guests. Most famous of all is General Simón Bolívar, the revered liberator of Ecuador, who often spent the night at the hacienda on his trips to and from Bogotá, Colombia. Later in the nineteenth century, hacienda's walls witnessed the "Treaty of Pinsaquí ," an historic peace agreement between Colombia and Ecuador.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

My experience with Sandra at Adventure Life was wonderful. She was very thorough, not only emailed me cruise information to review, she followed up with phone calls to answer any questions. We also received a couple of discounts which helped with our decision. I would recommend Adventure Life to my family and friends.
