Hacienda Las Cuevas Terra Lodge

This is one of the great properties in and around Quito. It really is a hidden gem. The chef, and we're not foodies, is amazing. All the meals are works of art and very tastefully presented. Luis, our chef, also conducted tours around the place and shared the overly interesting history of the place. If you are looking for something unique, this fits the bill. Somewhat difficult to arrive at, back roads, hilly, rough, but able to travel in any type of car. We took a taxi in and the manager gave us a ride back to the airport. All of these people are overtly nice. The activities, which we participated in nearly all of them, are worth the time. We did two hikes and were amazed at the beauty and unique character of the mountain. Put this property on your list, especially if you are tired of the same old motel rooms with no personality.

Beautiful interesting place to stay. Felt very welcomed. Lovely comfortable large room. Enjoyed the hot tub, the views, the fascinating tour of its history and builders. Delicious food served graciously. As they say, the road is very rough getting there but it was no problem for our driver. Hiked around the area and sat by the huge fireplace. We loved it!!

This place is amazing. It is very family-friendly, with lots for kids to do and explore. We stayed in the family room, which was very spacious and comfortable for us. There are many activities available and all were fun. Some of the things we enjoyed were a difficult hike, a night walk, beer and chocolate tastings, wine and cheese tastings, and candle making. The food is fantastic. The fireplaces are lit in the evening and our family loved sitting in front of the fire.

Absolutely amazing stay. Unlike any hotel I have visited before with a fascinating back story. We loved wandering the grounds and exploring the hotel. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating, and they offered many activities. We did the cave tour (a must!), the beer and chocolate tasting, the long trail walk, a horseback ride, and a night hike. The food was phenomenal, and they catered to our vegetarian diet. The hot tub was the perfect temperature. More people need to be visiting this gem.
