Hotel Ali Shungu, Otavalo, Ecuador |
|
GARDEN HOTEL AND GOURMET RESTAURANT |
|
LAGO SAN PABLO There are many old roads through villages as one nears the lake. A very colorful car ride around the lake takes about 20 minute. Stop at one of the several hosterias. |
|
THE LAKES OF MOJANDA 18 kms. from Otavalo. There is no public transport. Well above the tree line and unmarred by even a Coca Cola sign. Great trout fishing! |
|
CUICOCHA LAKE About 20 minutes from Cotacachi by car (no public transport) one arrives at a truly spectacular setting. An excellent five hour walk around the lake. Don't forget to take your poncho! |
|
COTACACHI A model Latin American city! At least a hundred stores line the streets of Cotacachi offering a wide variety of handmade leather clothing, luggage, bags, boots and "knick-knacks." |
|
SAN ANTONIO DE IBARRA A hundred woodcarving workshops just 20 minutes from Otavalo. Easy to get there on local buses. An old fashioned colonial village. Hours of pleasant wandering. Continue on to Ibarra to see the plazas. |
|
EL LECHERO A beautiful panoramic view of Otavalo and Lago San Pablo. Walk a block above the main square (Calle Piedrahita) and head east up the road bearing left. From barrio Santa Anita continue up staying to the left. From the "wailing tree" walk down to the villages on the lake. Take a bus back to Otavalo. |
|
PARQUE CONDOR Overlooking the Otavalo valley, the new Condor Park and Preserve should be on your list of must-sees! The views are lovely! There is nothing quite like it anywhere else in Ecuador! The walk may take an hour from Otavalo, but taxis are willing to make the trip up! |
