Location:
The "HOSTERIA ABRASPUNGU" is located at kilometer 3 1/2 on the way to Guano city, in a residential suburb named "Las Abras", in the city of Riobamba.
Description & facilities:
It's name comes from two words: "ABRA": from the Spanish word "abra", which means a deep rupture in the hard earth, caused by erosion from water. "PUNGU": from quichua "pungu", which means door or entrance.
ABRASPUNGU is also the name of a glacial valley located between the mountains Chimborazo and Carihuairazo, at 4.000 Mts. above sea level.
The idea to build ABRASPUNGU began with the purpose of providing comfortable and peaceful lodging for our customers, in peaceful countryside surroundings which offer the special micro-climate characteristic of the Guano valley.
The "Hacienda Abraspungu", is a first class Hostel, and offers 26 confortable rooms with private bathroom and hot water, bar and restaurant services, telephone and fax lines, with international contact, and a convention center for 50 persons.
It's architectural style is "mestizo", typical of the Ecuadorian countryside, ransoming the type of architecture used in the ancestral manors and mansions as well as the housing of the country men of Ecuador.
Stylishly decorated, with all types of antiquel objects used in farming, and very illustrative photographs of native landscapes and cultures, you can appreciate the richness of the natural resources that the province of Chimborazo and Ecuador in general offer to it's tourists.
