Hacienda Pinsaqui is ideally situated at the base of Imbabura Volcano, just north of the world-famous Otavalo market and only two hours from Quito. This location also allows easy access to the region's many attractions such as the Lakes of San Pablo, Cuicocha, and Mojanda, as well as the white colonial city of Ibarra and local handicraft villages.

Constructed in 1790, Hacienda Pinsaqui was originally a colonial textile enterprise, employing over one thousand weavers and spinners. Many of Pinsaqui'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.
Each room is unique and has a character all of its own. There are 20 suites with fireplaces that comfortably accommodate up to five people. Within the rooms you will find sheepskin rugs, heavy blankets and pieces of traditional art. Most rooms have a view overlooking the lovely gardens behind the hacienda.

The restaurant, which caters to both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, offers three meals a day, ranging from light meals such as soups and sandwiches, to more elegant dishes including fish, meat, and pastas.
