Enjoy your stay at Hacienda El Porvenir, a working farm in the region surrounding the Cotopaxi Volcano with its own distinctive charm, ecosystem, and individual touch. This area is known as the land of the four corners due to the four volcanoes that surround: Rumiñahui 4,712 m (15,455 ft), Pasochoa 4200 m (13,776 ft), Sincholagua 4893 m (16049 ft) and Quilindaña 4878 m (16000 ft), with snow-capped Cotopaxi at its center. Hacienda El Porvenir is located one and a half hours from Quito, on the slopes of Rumiñahui Volcano, and is a mere four kilometers from the northern entrance of Cotopaxi National Park. Located at 3600 m (11808 ft), in a breathtaking valley, El Porvenir is surrounded by four volcanoes, amongst them Cotopaxi.
Accommodations

An impressive backdrop is the ever-changing Sincholagua Volcano.
