Hacienda Jimenita

Welcome to Ecuador! To this 109 years old Spanish Style Hacienda that has been in the Cruz Lopez family for four generations. That is call La Jimenita Wildlife Reserve or as we like to call it our little piece of heaven. Having achieved 5 years in a row the travelers choice award and in 2018 the Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor proves our hospitality expertise.

We are in Quito, in the county of Pifo that is away from the noise and the busy life of the city. Here you will enjoy breathtaking sunsets, have contact with nature, rest and relax in a private reserve with top quality service.

We offer you:

• 18 acres of land that are exclusive for our guests to enjoy and explore the different trails that we have.


• A family run business that will give you personal service to get the best experience in Ecuador.


• A unique destination of Quito with a patrimonial and cultural recognition from the FONSAL.

• Watch the different hummingbirds that live here. La Jimenita is located in a valley, that creates the perfect weather for having over 90 different species of birds and 10 different species of hummingbirds including the Giant Hummingbird. We offer birding tours inside our reserve with an additional cost.
