Hacienda San Agustin De Callo

This storied Hacienda has lived many lifetimes. It began as an Inca Palace, constructed by one of the last emperors in the 15th century, and by 1921, it had been purchased by the revolutionary-turned-president, Gutierrez. It remains in his family to this day. The heritage is evident in the melee of architecture, ranging from Incan Imperial to Spanish colonial, and stunning wall paintings by Chilean artist, Manuel Araya, that fill every room. And, we cannot forget the astonishingly-beautiful landscapes that beg for adventure, as well as the snow-laden Cotopaxi volcano that towers over the montane forest and sprawling grasslands.
