  Wonderful Hacienda with Incredible Views
I had a wonderful 2 night stay at Hacienda El Porvenir, which is located only 4 km from Cotopaxi National Park.  The setting is incredible, surrounded by the Sincholagua, Antisana, Ruminahui, and Cotopaxi volcanoes.  Yes, it is rustic, but has its own beautiful charm.  I reserved a traditional room (they have 3 different classes of rooms) and it was lovely.  Others have complained about the cold temperatures, but there were 3 electric heaters available in my room, along with the evening hot water bottle placed in the bed, all of which were more than sufficient.  Upon arrival I immediately went for a walk on one of their well-marked paths, and then took a cooking class making cheese empanadas, aji sauce, and canelazos.  Both were fantastic.  The next day I hired a local guide from the outside who took me into Cotopaxi National Park, where I enjoyed a great hike to the Refugio.  Back at El Porvenir, I made use of their spa area.  On my last day I took a fantastic 2 hour horse ride up towards the top of their property.  It was an excellent ride thru the paramo grasslands, with beautiful views.  Then afterwards went for a walk on another one of their walking trails, which was also great.  Their restaurant has a wide selection, and the food is served in large portions.  I especially enjoyed the lava steak and apple crumble that others have commented on.  Regarding previous negative comments on the bulls that they raise, there is no need to worry.  On my walks they were always in fenced in areas, and when we passed by them on the horse ride, they just sat there.  Felipe is a great manager, he speaks excellent English, and was very helpful and always available.  I highly recommend a stay at El Porvenir.

  Horseback riding!!
We had 1 day in Quito and wanted an adventure and Hacienda El Porvenir did not disappoint.  We chose to do the 3.5 hr Horseback ride to the Ruminahui volcano.  I can't say enough wonderful things about the service and attention to our family of 5.  Empanadas before the trip and then lunch at the restaurant after which was excellent!  It was the perfect way to see the highlands and learn a bit about the changras culture!

  Super charming historic hotel in magnificent countryside
This property is very cool: it is built with central courtyards for each of the 2 parts for guests: one for the rooms which all face onevery  large courtyard and the other for the office, store, dining room, and handsome sitting rooms with a working fireplace to sit by with tea or wine. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows, the speical added touch of a hot water bottle placed IN our beds was divine after a delicious meal. We slept like babies under warm comforters and were greeted in the morning with a bright, sunny day. The man who helped deck us out in super warm panchos and thick AND warm chaps was great-he'dressed' us including helmets, and he  kept an eye on us as we rode up towards Cotopaxi and especially when we saw the angry bulls. We saw vacuñas in the distance and also Condor. We also took a cooking class and learned how to make (AND eat!) a Guayusa/ CanelazoTea, Aji and yummy little empanadas. A fantastic trip we highly recommend!

  Stopover after Galápagos visit
We spent 1 night and 2 full days at the Hacienda.  I normally don’t write reviews, but the service we received was so incredible I felt I should write a review.  The room was lovely with a personal greeting at the ready and a fire roaring in the stove when we got there.  Had a horseback ride scheduled, but as it was raining they graciously moved us to the next day and moved our checkout time to later so that we would have ample time to clean up before heading back to Quito.  We took the afternoon to enjoy the spa and have a massage instead.  Water in the hot tub could have been hotter, but it was still enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and Gloria’s service was impeccable.  Horseback riding in the Highlands was beautiful and the horses were very gentle.  Philippe’s service was also impeccable.  I highly recommend staying here!

  Unespected gem
Myself and my husband ended by chance in this hacienda and the welcome was more than worm, we felt at home and pampered in a beautiful way without forgetting safety measures. 
The dinner was simple (our arrival was unexpected) but still in a way sophisticated and delicious, the room was cozy with a little delightful touch: a hot water bottle to warm up the bed in a very cold night.
The day after the arrival the manager arranged a  great horseback riding in a wonderful landscape. The stop to take pictures was accompanied by a tea to warm up and reduce the problems of the altitude. At the end a welcome back with a delicious canelazo !!
Our stay ended with a great lunch with natural products of the hacienda.
Surely a place where to come back !!!

Es un lugar fantastico, excelente servicio y lindas intalaciones. Les recomiendo la Cabalgata, la disfrutamos mucho con mi esposo e  hijas de 8 y 10. También las cuerdas medias que ofrecen son una excelente actividad para niñ@s.
Tiene excelentes medidas de bioseguridad, nos sentimos muy seguros.

  Charmingly rugged hacienda amidst breathtaking landscape
This year is years too late as I visited El Porvenir in the mid-2010s (so ignore whatever travel date this review is tagged with) but in a way that on its own is telling. I discovered El Porvenir online and dreamed about traveling there for years before I actually went, and years after I've left it's stayed with me all this time. The hacienda has a cozy rustic vibe, the rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, the food was...well the food was just okay lol but when you combine all of that and then place it in that stunning volcanic landscape, it becomes something more than its parts. The place is honestly magical and well worth the long bumpy car ride.

  Elevated near Cotopaxi
If you're visiting Cotopaxi put this hideaway on your accommodation list for two nights, maybe more. You arrive here after a bumpy 15 km drive  and are welcomed by hot apple cider and a lovely talk about the area and all the amenities. There are so many activities to do here that you'll want to visit Cotopaxi in the morning and return here for horseback riding or hiking or a ropes course or a full-service spa. The "middle of nowhere" location is one of its selling points. The sunsets are beautiful and the lounge, with its fireplace and serene atmosphere, is a perfect place to spend some quiet time before dinner. The menu takes into account many dietary preferences-- vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. The evenings are cold so that hot water bottle you'll find under the sheets is perfect. Enjoy!
