HACIENDA PIMAN Ibarra, Ecuador Hacienda Pimán is an historic retreat located in the northern Ecuadorian Andes. A place redolent with peace, a place where you’ll enjoy comfortable rooms and social areas amid modern and traditional architecture, delicious home-cooking, peaceful gardens and the warmth of your hosts. Tucked into an oasis-like valley between the folds of dry mountains, Hacienda Pimán offers you the perfect base for both disconnecting from daily life and exploring the rich cultural and natural heritage of one of Ecuador’s most captivating regions. The hacienda dates back to 1680, making it one of the oldest in the country, going back to the first lands taken over by the Spanish conquerors. The hacienda has belonged to the Zaldumbide family ever since its creation. Some Zaldumbides went to war, fighting in the Napoleonic Wars in Spain in the 19th century for example, while others followed more literary pursuits, such as the famous Ecuadorian poet Julio Zaldumbide of the early 20th century. Soldier or poet, all loved their Andean home, slowly embellishing it down the years – by inviting a French landscape artist to design the gardens, or reconstructing the house following the terrible earthquake that struck the region in the mid-19th century. Today, the house is a reflection of its historic character. Some constructions date back to its foundation, while others, such as the chapel and library, to the 19th century, and the Brazilian species of trees in the gardens and the painted eaves to the mid-20th. Hacienda Pimán is redolent with history in every detail. The former colonial and Republic country manor has been lovingly restored by its family owners over the past years, ready to welcome guests who appreciate the simple pleasures in life. Enjoy the house’s historic feel, its art and antiques, its literary heritage, cozy corners and attentive service, as well as its beautiful gardens, chapel, swimming pool and intimate wellness area.
