New Zuleta homestays

The team at Tropic Ecuador believes that showing people Ecuador is more than just revealing its beauty and diversity – it is also about getting to know its people. Their newest lodging option allows your clients to immerse themselves in one of Ecuador’s communities with a Zuleta homestay in Otavalo. Set among lush rolling hills dotted with forests and rich farmland, crisscrossed by cobbled streets, your travelers will be welcomed like family by José María and Carmita for a stay in their home.

José María was the chef at one of Ecuador’s most well-known haciendas, and now offers cooking classes in their family kitchen (optional, extra). Guests can learn to make traditional dishes with local ingredients, then enjoy the fruits of their labor around the dining table. Carmita offers classes in embroidery, an art that the region is renowned for. Other activities for guests include horse rides, mountain biking and hiking the incredible landscapes. Guests can also visit the impressive Condor Huasi conservation project at Hacienda Zuleta if arranged in advance.

Carmita’s four ensuite rooms along with her family’s warm hospitality will make your guests feel at home. If your travelers are looking to dig deeper into what makes Ecuador special, a homestay with Carmita is a must. Contact Andrea for additional details or to make a booking for your clients.
