Hacienda San Agustin de Callo , Ecuador

One and a quarter hours from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, stands the beautiful and little known colonial hotel Hacienda San Agustín de Callo.

Built on the site of an Inca palace, the varied and influential inhabitants of San Agustín de Callo have contributed to the unique blend of architecture which creates the individual character of the house.

In the main courtyard it is possible to see three distinct styles, Inca (Imperial style 15th century, construction style which the Incas used for their temples and palaces), Spanish Colonial (18th century) and Republican (19th century).
