Offering some of the most
spectacular indigenous tribal handicraft you could wish
to find in Ecuador, Otavalo is one place that usually
finds itself on every tourists' itinerary of "things to
do whilst" in Ecuador. As a result, Otavalo Ecuador hotels
offer a richness in both variety and numbers.
One of the most famous places to stay in Otavalo is the
Casa Mojanda Inn and Farm. This Farm and
Inn has a number of magnificent activities to occupy your
time spent here; including horseback riding
trekking, mountain biking, or even just walking along
one of the many trails around this area of natural beauty
and splendor.
Another very well known Otavalo hotel is the Hosteria
Hacienda Pinsaqui, located on the PanAmer highway.. This
fabulous hotel is a renovated colonial building - and
it'll certainly provide you with a superb night's sleep.
With its magnificent colonial architecture, Otavalo also
has a number of converted haciendas that you can choose
to stay at. Although these are normally more expensive
places to stay at than your run-of-the-mill Otavalo hotels
and hostels, the beautiful architecture and spectacular
scenery certainly make a night's stay here worth the money.
Of course, having said this, Otavalo is famous for its
traditional markets, so if you would rather
be saving your money, so that you can spend it at the
famous market, why not consider one of the cheap Otavalo
hotels, guest houses and hostels that Otavalo also offers
travelers to the town. The option to stay at one of the
guest-houses in the center of town will provide you with
very similar accommodation to that found all over the
country, indeed the continent, which is a cross between
a private house and a hotel, but not quiet a youth hostel.
In fact, this type of facility is the same as those popular
in Europe, and known by the name: "bed & breakfast".
Overall though, the aim of Otavalo's guesthouses is to
provide you with a place to sleep, usually in a room with
on-suite bathroom, without the need to incur large hotel
bills. They are also normally family-run affairs.
Two of the most popular hostels in Otavalo include the
Jatun Pacha Hotel, a family hostel which provides double,
tipple and dormitory rooms, some with private bathrooms
- all with hot water; and the Hostal Dona Esther, a colonial
style small hostel, which includes the well-known Restaurant
II de Roma.
So, whether you'd like to save your money to spend it
in the market, or live it up in one of the grand hotels,
Otavalo hotels, budget hotels, and hostels, are available
for all types of travelers!
