Hacienda Uzhupud - Hotel Cuenca - Ecuador

Located about 45 minutes outside of Cuenca, Hacienda Uzhupud is a good option for those who want to be near Cuenca but still have more of a countryside experience. The hacienda has hiking trails, horses for riding, tennis courts, a pool and sauna, in addition to soccer field, volleyball court and children's games. There is even a small orchid garden. It can also host meetings, conventions and other special events. On Sundays, it offers an impressive buffet lunch featuring local dishes such as hornado (roast pork). On weekends and holidays, Uzhupud is popular with Ecuadorians who go to relax: you can pay day rates to use the pool and sauna area. Many tours to nearby Gualaceo and Chordeleg will stop for lunch at Uzhupud. The dishes are quite reasonably priced and the food is excellent. Try the yaguana juice: it's a fruit punch of sorts colored with the pinkish ataco plant.
