In the heart of Ecuador's Lake District, Hacienda Pinsaquí rich with centuries of history invites you to become part of its magic, romance and legends. Hacienda Pinsaquí is ideally situated at the base of Imbabura Volcano, just north of the world-famous Otavalo market and only two hours from Quito, the charming capital of Ecuador. 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 Pinsaquí was originally a colonial textile workshop, employing over 1000 weavers and spinners. Many of the Pinsaquí fabrics were exported to the United States in the late 1800's where they first received international recognition. To this day, the Hacienda retains the character and authenticity of its earlier times, making for a unique tourist experience.
