Casa Mojanda - Reviews - Otavalo

Casa Mojanda is an amazing inn located near the small town of Otavalo, Ecuador. This town is known for its famous outdoor market, filled with many exotic products. The inn is very cozy and personal, and the owners are very friendly. The inn's main building houses the dining room, the recreation room, the kitchen, the small lobby, and bathrooms. The dining room has a very personal touch to it, since everyone eats together at a given time. Eating here is great, since much of the food is cultivated in the area, prepared right on the spot. The recreation room occupies the second floor, and has a large collection of movies, a ping-pong table, many board games, a very comfortable sofa, and a TV. There's a hot tub right next to the building; very relaxing.

The owners have a few fun dogs running around. There are also llamas and horses. You can ride on horseback all the way to this small waterfall nearby; it's a lot of fun!

Outside of the main building, there's a path leading to all the rooms. The small library is located near the main building, and contains many interesting books. Beyond the library lie the rooms. One of the best parts of the rooms is that they're like cottages, ranging from 1 to 8 beds! They are protected by mosquito-netting, and have standard toilets. Most of them have a spectacular view of the mountains and volcanoes.

At night, the sky fills up with brilliant stars, and fireflies are everywhere! The only thing which may bother travelers is the deadly silence at night, especially if a fly gets trapped in the room. Apart from that, this inn is a must for any traveler in the Ecuadorian Andes.
