HACIENDA CUSIN, OTAVALO

ANCIENT BEAMED CEILINGS

Riding your horse along a high trail, with the valley laid out beneath you and the Ecuadorian Sierras forming a majestic horizon, you could well imagine yourself to be the main character of an adventure novel, or starring in a film. Certainly the Hacienda Cusin has inspired authors and enraptured visitors for generations.

And not just for the wild beauty of its setting, or its manicured gardens. Step inside the hacienda and you’re suddenly plunged back into the colonial period. You’re presented with a huge, ornate fireplace that could have been a decorative altarpiece in a local church. Plus ancient beamed ceilings, flying angels, chandeliers and colourful Andean artefacts. All complemented by sublimely comfortable guest rooms. They’re just part of the Cusin experience – one of the high points of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Ecuador.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, 91�� provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
