Set in a historic Hacienda (ranch) where tradition and history surround us like the mountains and volcanoes, we are to be found 16 kilometres outside of Riobamba in the Indian area known as Chuquipoggio, meaning watershed, from the Indian words chuqui (water) and poggio (shed) signifying that water flows down here.

Located in the shadow of five of Ecuador's most awesome peaks - Chimborazo, the highest peak in the country at 6310m, Carihuairazo (5020m), Tungurahua (5016m), El Altar (5319) and Cubillines (4455m), the Hosteria La Andaluza, just outside Riobamba, is the ideal location for those who wish to relax and take in the fantastic scenery that surrounds it.

Amongst the hotel's main attractions are the 36 double rooms in the colonial part of the building surrounded by a beautiful garden with a stone fountain which is amongst the many original items belonging to the Hacienda.
