"It's hard to leave a place so close to heaven." - Elle Magazine.
Hacienda Manteles is located in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes, about 45 minutes from Banos, between Llanganati and Sangay National Parks. The hacienda was built in 1965 and became a hotel in 1992 and has been extensively remodelled and refurbished since then. There are great views of the valley and the magnificent Tungurahua volcano.
It is a lovely hacienda offering comfortable, cosy lodging in its 16 individually decorated bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and with views of the gardens, mountains or volcano. The dining area is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is a blend of traditional Ecuadorian dishes and international fare.
The hacienda is set in lovely lush gardens and 200 hectares of protected primary forest. There are plenty of ways to explore this spectacular area. The hacienda can arrange hiking, horseriding, mountain biking, canyoning and birdwatching, to name a few. As a guest you provide the resources to continue preserving the forest owned by the hacienda.
