There is a cozy library and living room full of books and old family photos of the Plaza family for guests to enjoy. Every afternoon the staff makes a nice fire in the fireplace and serve a tasting of their best cheeses.
The food is mainly produced from the Hacienda's own organic garden, a place JohnJohn loved to explore. They even have their own cheese factory that is known for making the best cheeses in Ecuador. The cheeses can also be found in special cheese stores like the famous Cow Girl creamery in San Francisco.
Hacienda Zuleta is very child friendly and there is a great variety of activities for kids such as cow milking, horseback riding, condor watching, exploring the quaint little village

Nota Bene! The altitude can be a problem for younger babies if they are not used to it. We stayed at Hacienda Zuleta in February 2012 when JohnJohn was 14 months old and he managed just fine with the high altitude.
