Huagra Corral is a restored country house, located on the main entrance to Cotopaxi National Park, 44Km down to the South of Quito, following the Pan American Highway.

Its founder is Rommel, a local entrepreneur that in 1996 at the age of 21, decided to open a cafeteria to provide tourists a warm drink and comfortable atmosphere.

    Huagra Corral is settled in the Community of Santa Rita, before known as Huagra Corral because of the paramount cattle that used to live in the area. The name was changed with the arrival of the image of Saint Rita, to whom the community is devoted. Each year, the people of surroundings is still celebrating festivities in honor of the saint.

    Huagra Corral was established in January 1996 in a field where its topographic structure was irregular, the cliff Leopoldo Lema was a frightening area for locals because of a belief of an elf that scared drunk or curious men. This is part of the magic and charm that Huagra Corral has to offer, now gently, to its visitors.

    As mentioned before, Huagra Corral started as a cafeteria, and then Rommel and Susana began offering the lodging service. When you visit Huagra Corral, you will notice immediatly about the love, patience and attention involved in the creation and developing of this dream. Their aim is to become visitors into house friends. Now Huagra Corral is the perfect place to start your journey to the Cotopaxi Volcano.
