Hacienda Abraspungo is an example of traditional colonial architecture both inside and out. The interior is decorated with photographs and pictures of local Andean scenes and throughout are antiques bearing testament to pre Spanish and pre Colombian cultures of the region. The hacienda is set in lovely landscaped gardens with wide stone pathways and pretty fountains where guests can relax and marvel at the views of the Andes mountains. The hacienda is named after a glacial valley situated in the heart of the country, between Mount Chimborazo and Carihuairazo.
There are 42 guest rooms, all well furnished and attractively decorated but also boasting traditional touches, such as wooden floors, ceiling beams and local furniture. All rooms have direct access to the gardens. Each room is named after an Andean mountain and the decor reflects this.
