ITINERARY
1
La Compañía Estate
The origins of Hacienda la Compañía de Jesús date back to the time of the Jesuits who arrived in Ecuador and built it. After the Jesuits were expelled by King Charles I from all Spanish lands where they were present, the house was purchased in 1767 by the family of the current owners. Today, it is in its sixth generation. Opposite the chapel is the old barn, a building that now houses a spectacular exhibition of the 70 varieties of roses produced at the Hacienda de la Compañía de Jesús. The bright colors of the roses combined with the rural architectural decoration create a truly attractive scene. Ecuador is privileged to have the best quality roses in the world, as it is located on the equator, in the middle of the world, with 12 hours of daylight and a similar climate throughout the year, as well as the perfect humidity and altitude for growing roses.
