Description

Drawing Room

The drawing room is charming with large windows that look upon the Cotopaxi and other volcanoes in the Andean mountain range. The main door leads out to the gardens. A cozy atmosphere and the warmth of the fireplace invite you to enjoy and relax in a family home surrounded by photographs that tell you of the past and present. A small honor bar is available next to a beautiful Inca wall.

Dining Room

The Inca dining room, unique room of Imperial style construction with niches characteristic of this style, with its view of Cotopaxi provides guests with the perfect setting to savor the excellent Ecuadorian cuisine. The breakfast room is charming with the view of Cotopaxi and remains of the Inca walls. Each dining room offers space for twenty people at the same time. By far the most impressive sights are the perfectly carved volcanic stone walls of two of the Inca rooms which have outlasted the centuries and now serve as chapel and dining room.

Inca Chapel

Few places can offer a more unique and spectacular setting for a wedding than the Inca Chapel with its 17th century ceiling and perfectly carved Inca volcanic stone walls - a monument to a long ago forgotten craftsmanship. The chapel accommodates up to eighteen people. Many more fit in the courtyard and corridors. 150 people or more can be sat comfortably in the courtyard area and people can be accommodated in the surrounding gardens. It is the ideal place for honeymoons and anniversaries or other special and romantic occasions.

Main Courtyard

The varied and influential inhabitants of San Agustín de Callo have contributed to the unique blend of architecture which creates the individual character of the house. In the main courtyard it is possible to see three distinct styles, Inca (Imperial style, 15th century, construction style which the Incas used for their temples and palaces), Spanish Colonial (18th century) and Republican (19th century).

San Agustín de Callo constitutes the only lived-in museum of Inca Imperial and Spanish Colonial style.

Cuisine

Authentic high Andean dishes include llapingachos (a type of potato cake), quinoa croquets, maize patties, tamales (steamed corn maize stuffed with seasoned chicken, egg, chillies, olives, wrapped in achira leaves). Soups such as quinoa, sancocho, barley rice soup and the hacienda's famous "locro", a rich cheese and potato soup served with slices of ripe avocado, and freshly prepared ají, are just a few of the Andean dishes offered.

This unique experience provides our guests with a perfect setting to savour the Hacienda's excellent Ecuadorian cuisine and enjoy its warm hospitality.
