HACIENDA PIMAN, IBARRA

FEEL COMPLETELY AT PEACE

Less than 10 km from colourful Ibarra lies a quaint hotel that exudes the style and heritage of colonial Ecuador. It’s a hidden place, offering many surprises.

Waking up in Hacienda Piman, listening to the birds singing in the surrounding valley, or standing on the veranda with the early morning sun on your face, you’ll feel completely at peace. The worn tiled roofs, white walls and balustrade-lined verandas echo the style of the colonial period and seem completely comfortable, nestled amongst the dark greens and towering trees of this Andean valley.

Surprising, then, that the city of Ibarra – state capital of Imbabura Province – is just a few kilometres away along the old Pan American Highway. There’s even more of a surprise at El Chota – an Afro-Ecuadorian community offering lively bomba music and dance. If you want to explore the cultural heritage of the Northern Andes, make Hacienda Piman part of your tailor-made holiday to Ecuador.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91�� stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH”

Once again, Ultimate Travel organised a fabulous holiday for us. Their service is excellent from start to finish and their staff at the destination are the best. We have been so well looked after. They really understand what you are looking for and deliver the perfect holiday to match. I highly recommend Ultimate Travel for your next holiday!
