Somos afortunados el poder acceder al bosque nublado virgen con mucha facilidad, el cambio del ecosistema le transportar\u00e1 a un mundo donde las plantas medicinales juegan un aspecto importante para sobrevivir<\/p>\n

One of the unique features of the environment around Hacienda La Alegria is the endangered habitat of the Ecuadorian cloud forest. These subtropical montane rain forests used to cloak much of the steep western slopes of the Andes between 1,500 and 3000 meters, but are now classified as threatened.<\/p>\n

These luxuriant forests rank among some of the most bio-diverse habitats on the planet, with an astonishingly profusion of plant life, including orchids, epiphytes (\u201cair plants\u201d), tree ferns, bamboo, wax palms, podocarpus and aliso. Bird-watching is popular, with hummingbirds, nightjars, and other exotic species present in the forest (Ecuador boasts more bird species than any other country).<\/p>\n

FIESTAS DEL CHAGRA
\nchagraThe Chagra is the cowboy of the Ecuadorian Andes. They dedicate their lives to ride horses and herd management. Their attire includes animal skin chaps for protection against cold temperatures, a hat, and a wool poncho and a scarf.<\/p>\n

Machachi is the closest village from the Hacienda that celebrates every second and third week of July the Chagra festivities, a special celebration is the CHAGRA PARADE, were 2000 Chagras by horse ride with their best customs and horses on the city with dance and music.<\/p>\n

The Chagras work mostly with Lidia breed (bull fighting) cows and bulls. The bull fighting breed herds where introduced by the Jesuits priests, at the colony time and this breed is still used in small towns festivities and for real bullfights in the cities. One of the main Chagra\u2019s jobs consists in moving the herds that are disperse on the mountains to the farm corrals once a year, for this purpose they use the cabestro (lasso) handmade from bull skin.<\/p>\n

CAMINAR, ESCALAR Y TREKKING DESDE LA ALEGRIA
\nLa Alegria is ideally located for a hiking trip into the mountains. The hacienda is situated on the lower slopes of Volcan Corazon in the heart of the \u201cAvenue of the Volcanoes\u201d, a spectacular valley dividing the eastern and western ranges of the Andes.<\/p>\n

We can arrange accredited mountain guides if required, and can supply maps and directions for local peaks: Viudita (3760m), Corazon (4788m), Ruminahui (4712m) and Pasochoa (4250m). Viudita is a three hour round trip and is ideal for a day acclimatization hike. Corazon is a long day hike from the farm for fit and acclimatized hikers.<\/p>\n

We can also ride to Corazon and Ruminahui, taking the horses up onto the paramo (high grassland) from where spectacular hiking is possible with the option of returning to the hacienda for a hot shower at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

Ascents of Illiniza Sur (5263m) and the classic cone of Cotopaxi (at 5897m the highest active volcano in the world) offer the possibility of climbing, previous mountaineering experience is not necessary, but acclimatization on the smaller peaks mentioned above is essential. We work closely with accredited mountain guides.<\/p>\n
