The Las Palmeras is a lovely, quiet inn on a hill just outside Otavalo. Our experience there was all positive - we stayed two nights. We didn't have dinner there, but breakfast was good. It's a great place to relax - we had fun playing with the dogs and seeing the llamas in the yard. As it turned out for... more
