Woww que increíble lugar, muy hermoso como cuento de hadas! Si aun sigues allá, te recomiendo a que vayas al geoparque de Imbabura, ahí existen comunidades indígenas y te van explicando cada cosa, he visto en videos y es chevere!

[@ayngelina]

No estoy allí, pero estoy volviendo a la región norte y el geoparque suena muy interesante.

[@jeanniebennett3708]

I watched this 10 months ago. It is my go to vlog to dream, restore, to hope. It is beautiful. I miss Ayngelina!!!

[@ayngelina]

Aww thank you so much. I'm still here! Well I'm posting videos from Indonesia and traveling in Colombia right now.

[@quito9896]

Wonderful video thank you beautiful place

[@ayngelina]

Thank you so much. It's been one of my favourite places to stay at.

[@cuencanoful]

Didn’t know Ibarra was this beautiful. Thanks Ayngelina!

[@ayngelina]

I think northern Ecuador is really underrated for its sheer beauty. I have a few more videos in the area and I hope to go back in a couple weeks.

[@lauriedeveau2195]

I love all these haciendas, very interesting about all the medicinal plants in the different areas as well. The little touch me not type pods that burst open when you touch them reminds me of the similar ones we have here in NS but the flowers are orange

[@ayngelina]

Yes I thought the same thing!

[@nellie...]

Ayngelina this was amazing to watch, so beautiful. I could live there forever. Black berries my favorite berry. Interesting to see several spiritual practices. Nothing like nature for healing. I enjoyed the entire experience. Thanks!

[@ayngelina]

It's such a special spot. This video is a bit different as I'm not talking for most of it. But I felt like the scenery spoke for itself.

[@nellie...]

@@ayngelinaExcellent 👌

[@LivingLovingAbroad]

Wonderful place, we'll have to check it out, and great video!

[@ayngelina]

There are so many great haciendas in northern Ecuador, but this one was really special.

[@gregshaffer7547]

I worked in television for decades and must commend you on your camera work and editing. Well done!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you! It's definitely a learning process but I really enjoy it

[@DaCunhaCoartstudio]

That was beautiful!

[@ayngelina]

It's such a stunning place, northern Ecuador is beautiful

[@silvanavelasco1147]

Precioso todo paisajes animales comida hotelería y hasta Raimito ( la máscara del diabluma usada para celebraciones indigenistas)🖐️🙏

[@ayngelina]

Fue una gran experiencia.

[@timdebruler630]

This is definitely a place I will visit in my travels . Thank you Ayngelina

[@ayngelina]

So glad you liked it! Northern Ecuador has some really lovely accommodation.

[@itravelers]

Your videos never disappoint. Fantastico!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you so much Mike, if there's a town in Ecuador you want to know more about please let me know!

[@amul7430]

This hacienda is like heaven!! I could stay there forever. I am an animal lover, so the horses being so friendly just made the place more dear. So, it is on my list if I can ever get out of Cuenca. Do you have more information on the place??

[@ayngelina]

Yes you can reach them at www.tierradelvolcan.com/hacienda-el-cerotal/

[@carlitopajarito]

Imbabura 🤗 Thanks for the video

[@ayngelina]

I'm thrilled you enjoyed it 😊

[@k_and_m8745]

Very beautiful.

[@ayngelina]

It's a spectacular place.

[@StephEatsnTravels]

That thumbnail is stunning! I want to go here!

[@ayngelina]

It doesn't even do this place justice.

[@henryle1940]

Another great video

[@jeanniebennett3708]

Wow you really knocked it out of the park ! That vlog was so visually stunning that I stopped in the middle and dragged my husband downstairs to watch it again. It has motivated me to pick up a 2nd job so we can afford an exploratory trip. My husband and I are planning to retire in Ecuador in 2026. Your video is a testimony that we are making the right decision to move. Excellent job! Im soooo excited to move! Can you do some videos on Manta. My husband wants to move there but I want Cuenca. Best wishes!

[@ayngelina]

Wow thank you so much for commenting. This one was a bit different in style but El Cerotal is so beautiful I didn't need to say a lot. Manta is on my list for March. I'm planning a road trip that starts in Esmeraldas and ends in Guayaquil. I had hoped to do it in January but a lot of things are closed, including beaches on Sunday with recent restrictions.

[@henryle1940]

Great place love it

[@ayngelina]

You'll have to stay here and then head to the market to have cuy!

Hello...nice vdo

[@ayngelina]

Thanks so much B Ram 😊

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

This is quite a nifty place.....you got wilderness everywhere...I love the horses and plant life....Is the owner of this hacienda Ecuadorian?She sounds from Spain...Anyway,very peaceful place..Excellent display,,,Thanks

[@ayngelina]

Yes she is Ecuadorian and grew up coming to this house, it's been in her family for generations.

[@williamsjara1]

Excellent video!!!. The views are incredible . Thank you for sharing. I would like to visit that place..it is expensive?. What happened with the food taste.? The soup looks delicious. I think I saw chochos. How far from Ibarra the city?.👌

[@ayngelina]

It's not expensive at all. Of course it depends on when you go, how long you stay and how many people...the food was incredible homestyle, it really fit with the experience of being in a family hacienda. They have a cook on site who is so talented. I didn't show a lot of the food in this one but don't worry Wednesday's video is almost all food. Oh and not far from Ibarra, you could pop into the city for the day and come back to the Hacienda.

[@pablomurillo8703]

Hermoso lugar no sabía de su existencia, podrías compartirnos los precios?

[@ayngelina]

Como tanto alojamiento en Ecuador, depende de cuándo vayas, cuántas personas y cuánto tiempo te quedes, pero me sorprendió que sea muy asequible. Tienen un whatsapp para cotizar en www.tierradelvolcan.com/hacienda-el-cerotal/

[@AnchoringHighFrequency]

[@ayngelina]

It's such a special spot

All the Ecuador travel + food videos here --> bit.ly/Ecuador_Videos Where should I go next?

[@norma6806]

Awesome video, I want to know how did you get in touch with the owner or is this like a resort you can rent a room?

[@ayngelina]

Yes you can contact them to stay there at www.tierradelvolcan.com/hacienda-el-cerotal/

[@mikebailey336]

nice video whats the cost to stay there?

[@ayngelina]

It depends on when you go but I'm pretty sure they have whatsapp on their site if you know your details: www.tierradelvolcan.com/hacienda-el-cerotal/

Is that Andres walking with your group?

[@ayngelina]

Yes it is Andres walking with Isabel and I am hanging back.

Hola ayngelina bienvenida ami provincia de imbabura espero que estes contenta de conoser nuestra tradicion que tu estadia sea hermosa y linda bendiciones

[@ayngelina]

@@alfonsoendara8368 tiene más recomendaciones? 😊

[@Vc221__]

If we look at the haciendas as points where the obraje was carried out and witnessed thousands of deaths of indigenous people, it is no longer so beautiful. They are places that recall the sadness that the human being can exert against another human being. They represent identity theft and land misallocation.

[@ayngelina]

You make a very good point here, something I hadn't thought about. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

[@silvanavelasco1147]

Pero eso pasó hace mucho tiempo y en Ecuador se hizo la "reforma agraria" y muchas propiedades pasaron a los indígenas y ellos tienen la "soberanía alimentaria" y no son no subyugados ni tan pobres como la gente piensa Mantienen sus costumbres de vida vestimenta fiestas etc Si Angeliana visita la hacienda Zuleta en Imbabura mismo podrá enseñar lo que estoy diciendo

[@Vc221__]

@@silvanavelasco1147 Yo pertenezco a una comunidad indígena y le puedo decir que no es así, mi propia abuela sufrió el maltrato por manos de españoles, mis propia familia me ha contado las formas en las que las mujeres fueron violadas, razón por la cual se persuadía a la mujer para que se casara pronto y no ser ultrajada, razón por la cual las mujeres tuvieron que no bañarse. Y nótese que los europeos llegaron en 1542, y mi familia es de 1900. Puff enorme avance vemos. Estas personas no representan al 90% de este país, que vive con menos de un salario básico. O las personas de las comunidades que tienen malnutrición, representan a unos pocos criollos ( y otras personas que carecen de identidad y están persuadidas en sus subconsciente de pertenecer a ellos) . Si realmente tuvieran derechos, no permitirían la MINERÍA, pero no en este país hay tan poca identidad que prefieren que un extranjero dañe TODA la PACHAMAMA a cambio de un salario mínimo y se lleve todo su dinero. Sí, mucho hemos cambiado antes se llevaban oro, mire Ud. Mientras no superemos nuestro síndrome de acomplejamiento por quienes somos difícilmente se cambiará.

[@Vc221__]

@@silvanavelasco1147 Además desplazar y ADUEÑARSE de tierras no es para nada correcto, a cambio de opio (adoctrinamiento)mire Ud a pesar de ser un país laico (constitucionalmente) sigue siendo un país católico (con todo lo que ello implica políticamente). Es por la FÉ... Por último, no veo para NADA un cambio, las ciudades siguen siendo beneficiadas y ellas mismas se sienten "invadidas" por provincianos, sí tan buena fuese la vida en los pueblos, la gente no iría a las ciudades. La Ciudad alberga al poder pero ni en ella sus ciudadanos viven tranquilos. De hecho es el reflejo de la sociedad que tenemos y OH CASUALIDAD los terrenos más productivos (desde el punto de vista capitalista) pertenecen a personas de apellidos extranjeros. mmmm No sé.

[@mikebailey336]

what is the elivation there

[@ayngelina]

I'm not sure, but they may have that on their website.

[@mikebailey336]

did you hire a driver or rent a car ?

[@ayngelina]

Andres is a national guide and has a car. I hired him to travel with me. That said, I believe Tierra de Volcan can arrange transportation from Quito.
