While at Zuleta you can enjoy a wonderful array of activities within the private 1.800 hectare property. Miles of meandering mountain roads and trails make Zuleta an oasis for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking.

Archaeological tours of the Caranqui Pyramids take you back in time to when the Zuleta valley was populated by ancient civilizations.

The working farm itself offers a variety of entertaining possibilities with the trout farm, cheese factory, dairy and many other activities.

Guests are also invited to visit the Gallo Plaza Foundation’s projects which include the women’s community embroidery project and the condor repopulation project.

When you have exhausted all the options on the hacienda itself, you can venture out to the local villages and markets, including the world famous indigenous market in Otavalo.

Zuleta is renowned for the Zuleteno horse which is a unique mixture of Spanish-Andalusian, English and Quarter horses. The outcome of this cross-breeding is a robust Andean horse with a good disposition for riding.
