Day 10-11: Galapagos to Hacienda Zuleta

After 7 nights on the Integrity yacht, we bid farewell to our wonderful crew and guide. Then we flew from Galapagos to Quito. Upon arrival in Quito, we were met and transferred 2 hours to Zuleta.

We spent our 2 last days in Ecuador at the beautiful Hacienda Zuleta. 

Built in the 17th century, it's still a working farm with an amazing cheese factory, organic farm, stables, etc… 

This hacienda is a beautiful lodge filled with Plazo-Lasso family's furnitures, books and photos.

 It seems like Gabriel Garcia Marques could have written a novel about them! 

Located in the highlands (9000 feet), it's in a beautiful village surrounded by high peaks. 

We are  spoiled by cheese tastings, horseback riding, condors, llamas, farm to table meals and amazing staff.
