Guides, stories and experiences to discover Riobamba, its nature and rural life from a traditional hacienda.
La gastronomía andina en Riobamba es el resultado de siglos de historia concentrados en un plato. Cuando el hornado sale del horno de leña después de cuatro horas, cuando la fanesca se sirve únicamente durante Semana Santa o cuando el yaguarlocro llega humeante a la mesa en la mañana fría de los Andes, no es … Continued
Tourism in Chimborazo begins long before reaching the volcano. It begins when someone discovers that Chimborazo is not only the highest peak in Ecuador—it is the point on Earth farthest from the planet's center, the place from which anyone can be closer to the sun than from any other point on Earth
Hiking in Chimborazo has something few high-altitude destinations in the world can offer: accessible routes for any experience level, less than an hour from a town with hotels, restaurants, and all amenities. You don't need to be a mountaineer or have technical equipment to hike among vicuñas at 4,800 meters… Continued
Summer vacation in the Ecuadorian highlands begins in June and lasts until August—and is the busiest time of year in the Andean region. The highland sun, clear skies over Chimborazo, and cool temperatures create perfect conditions for families to explore volcanoes, high-altitude grasslands, and colonial haciendas without… Continued
Father's Day in Riobamba has a unique appeal that few celebrations can match: trading the coastal heat for the crisp, clean air of the Andes, climbing a snow-capped volcano, horseback riding through the high-altitude plains, and dining at a colonial hacienda with Chimborazo as a backdrop.

Team building in Riobamba has an ingredient that no conference room can offer: the environment. Horseback riding through the Andean highlands, climbing Ecuador's highest volcano, or hiking among mountains with the team are experiences that forge real bonds—the kind that no office dynamic, no matter how well-organized, can create… Continued
Choosing accommodation in Riobamba is one of the first decisions that defines the trip. Not because all the options are the same—but because they're not at all. The difference between staying in a city hotel and a colonial hacienda a few kilometers from the center is not… Continued
There's a time of year—or several—when the Guayaquil heat demands a change. For Guayaquileños, Riobamba is precisely that change: a 3.5-hour drive along the mountain road, the temperature drops 15 degrees, the landscape transforms completely, and the body finds rest unlike anything you'd experience on a beach… Continued
Corporate events in Riobamba offer an option that most companies don't consider until they experience it: a colonial hacienda with Andean gardens, stone and wood halls, its own cuisine, and Chimborazo volcano as a backdrop. It's not a convention center. It's a space with its own unique character that completely transforms… Continued
