Hacienda La Danesa is a traditional dairy and cacao farm with over 145 years of rich heritage and history, located about an hour drive from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Family-owned and managed by the third generation Olsen family, the farm offers a unique selection of tailor-made activities for guests, including horseback riding trails, hands-on artisan chocolate making and other hacienda-related programs. Breakfast at the farm is prepared by our chef using organic fresh ingredients directly from the gardens and local markets.
Warm, earthy tones and neutral linens are complements by teak furniture crafted by local artisans, offering a unique space in La Danesa. Luxurious bathrooms feature twin vanities and separate rain shower with skylight. These gracious open-living spaces with signature furnishing and commissioned artwork create the perfect place for families or honeymoon hideaways.
A wide range of relaxing and fun activities are organized at La Danesa from horseback riding through forests and paddocks, tubing down rivers, cycling around the farm, hands-on chocolate making experience in the cacao plantation, milking cows, watching native Ecuadorian Montubio performances, camping under the stars, setting up bonfire, open air cinema, and much more.
