I want my next destination wedding to be in a hacienda in Ecuador! Throughout my trip I would ask the locals for their favorite spots; the hidden gems that tourists don’t really hear of. One woman gave us the inside scoop on a hacienda nearby that was built by the Incas… and so our hacienda hunting started from there! I visited at least half a dozen amazing haciendas.
Although I brag that I have seen some of the most amazing haciendas throughout my work and travels in Mexico, Ecuadoran haciendas have a completely different vibe. Check out these images from one of my favorites, Hosteria La Cienega, located in the heart of the Ecuadoran Andes and in the outskirts of Volcano Cotopaxi.

Isn’t it stunning?! Now I just need to find a bride and groom! 🙂
