We chose this restaurant for our last dinner in Otavalo. It is out of town, so we had to take a taxi, which cost us $3.00. The restaurant sits on a lake with large windows overlooking it. We reserved a window table (highly recommended) and arrived right before sundown. The views of the clouds wafting over the mountains with reflections... More

I've been here several times and never had a bad meal, although I have never actually stayed at the Inn. It does look like a first class resort all around with well manicured lawns and gardens

This is a good restaurant and it is styled like an Amercian restaurant in every sense except for the food which is largely local - although burgers and steaks are on the extensive menu. We only ate there but the accommodation looks to be of a similar quality. Very popular among Amercian tourists and locals who find the place "different"... More

Eating breakfast with a view of a lake overlooking a volcano - life just doesn't get any better! The cabins are cute but don't have any heat. They ration the wood and you have to pay for extras. It's well worth it to be warm. The grounds are immaculate and they even have a llama too. It's a little out... More

We went to Puerto Lago for lunch one day. It is a lovely restaurant right on the water. I think the entire back wall of the restaurant that faces the lake is glass. The service was good - not outstanding but not bad. The menu was large. I did not like the empanadas I ordered but we enjoyed the chicken... More

Beautiful view of Lago San Pablo with wall to wall glass overlooking the magnificent lake with Mt. Imbabura rising from its opposite shore. The room is beautifully appointed ... high wood beam ceilings, terraced so that everyone has a lake view. Tables are set elegantly. A very large menu sure to please everyone ... with lots of local fruits and... More

We stopped by this restaurant on San Pablo Lake after a great and long day of touring the remote and spectacular mountains and villages in and near Otavalo and Ibarra. We were driving newly arrived friends visiting the region. Our friends were really surprised and amused to walk into such a conventional and pretentious restaurant after a day exploring the... More

I went to Puerto Lago after a recommendation by a local taxi driver. Not sure why he recommendet it, probably because all tourists in the area go there, so it MUST be good. The food was pretty good indeed, but nothing out of this world either, and comparing food quality and prices to other restaurants in Otavalo and around Lake... More

Puerto Lago is right on the edge of San Pablo Lake, 3-4 miles south of Otavalo. A taxi from Otavalo would cost about $4 or so to get there and is worth it if you wish a truly exotic meal in an exotic setting. Tables are beside huge windows that seem as though you are actually on the lake. Meals... More
