Around 1440 A.D., the Inca emperor Tupac Yupanqui commanded the construction of a palace, and later his son, Huayna Capac, concluded the work. In turn, his son Atahualpa, the last of the Inca emperors and the king of Quito, occupied the palace on his travels to Quito and Cajamarca, before he was captured by the Spanish conquerors and executed in 1536.
The hacienda was written about by the Spanish chronicler Cieza de Leon in 1553, and is one of only two major Inca sites in Ecuador. To this day, the remaining rooms prevail as a magnificent example of the unique style of Inca construction. The site is currently being investigated by Dr. David Brown of the University of Texas, with funding by the National Geographic Society. Previously unknown portions of Inca walls and foundations have been discovered throughout the restoration process of the house.

In 1590, the King of Spain granted large extensions of land to the religious orders in the different regions of Ecuador, with the purpose of consolidating the conquest and catholicizing the Indians. The Augustinian Order established their monastery in the region of Mulalo at this site, and with time constructed the colonial part of the house, blending the Spanish architectural style with the older Inca building.
In the 1700s, San Agustin de Callo served as the home of the French Geodesic Mission, whose scientific results helped to determine the true shape of the planet. While Geodesic Mission scientists were at work triangulating, they witnessed two eruptions of Cotopaxi, in 1743 and 1744. In 1921, the hacienda was purchased by General Leonidas Plaza Gutierrez, president of Ecuador in 1901 and in 1912. The hacienda remains in the family and is currently owned by the general's granddaughter Mignon Plaza.

Accommodation in the 4-star Hacienda Pinsaqui. This colonial hacienda was originally constructed in 1790, and spectacularly restored after an earthquake that shook the region in 1867. The building originally housed a textile workshop, employing nearly 1000 local weavers and spinners. Over the centuries Pinsaqui has hosted numerous illustrious guests. including General Simon Bolivar, the revered liberator of Ecuador, who often spent the night at the hacienda on his trips to and from Bogota, Colombia, finding a special peace and tranquillity, more than a hundred years ago.
The beautiful estate greets you with its white stone gates, and continues to impress with well-kept yards, fountains, cool mountain breezes and a picturesque landscape with a view of the Imbabura Volcano. Upon entering the bright building, you are welcomed by decorated walls and the homey smell of burning fireplaces. If you admire antiques, history or beautiful things, the hacienda will delight you. An abundance of its fine art, furniture and sculpture is Spanish. The great grandfather of the hacienda's current generation served as an Ambassador to Spain and his experiences there influenced the decoration of the hacienda. Pay attention to the impressive chandeliers, marble floors, framed newspaper clippings from the early 1800s and the wonderful aromas of fresh flowers and plants.
Each room is unique and has a character all of its own. There are 16 suites with fireplaces that comfortably accommodate up to 5 people. Within the rooms you will find sheepskin rugs, heavy blankets and pieces of traditional art. Most rooms have a view overlooking the lovely gardens behind the hacienda.
The tradition of the hacienda remains strong in the live, lunch-time musical events. Local native people (Otavaleños) come to the hacienda and entertain listeners with their traditional music and warm characters, intimately sharing their culture, through verse and instruments, with the guests.
Not overshadowed by its size and historical events, the hacienda creates a warm atmosphere, full of character, making for a wonderful stay. The hacienda has been in the Freile-Larrea family for over five generations. Members of the family will personally attend to your needs while you are staying with them. Horses have been the family's big passion over the decades, a passion which can clearly be seen at the hacienda, from the paintings on the walls to the small show jumping area in part of the garden. As a traditional hacienda family, the Freile-Larrea will make your stay a wonderful one.
