By Lorraine Caputo

After being abandoned for a spell, Hacienda La Esperanza has undergone a renovation at the loving hand of Marco Artura Valderrama, once more giving shelter to weary explorers. Its highly polished floors gleam. The thick earthen walls of this 200-year-old farmhouse keep the three, multi-bed guest rooms toasty warm. The beds come with several wool blankets. The new bathrooms spout hot water showers. Off the central courtyard is a kitchen where you can order meals and a sitting room with fireplace. Hacienda La Esperanza provides guides and horses to Laguna Grande de la Sierra (horse $13.15 per day, guide $16 per day) and other points.

Getting There:
The lechero will drop you off at La Capilla, from where it is 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to Hacienda La Esperanza.
