Pantaví Inn

Overview

Description

The Pantaví Inn is an inviting hotel located between the valley of Chota and Tumbabiro, in an area that maintains all the charm of the rural districts of Imbabura province, Ecuador. The inn was built over the foundation of the San Clemente hacienda's old house and its expansive gardens and age-old trees offer peace and a relaxing atmosphere to visitors.

Besides the lodging, get the relaxation you need at Pantaví in a warm, safe and tranquil setting where you can go on walks and bicycle rides, swim, and visit local communities and other area attractions such as the El Ángel and Cotacachi-Cayapas protected areas, the hot springs in Chachimbiro, and take the picturesque train to Ibarra.
