Acogedor B&B para conocer el dÃa a dÃa de una familia indÃgena. Excelente vista del Valle de Imbabura.

A peaceful place with fantastic views in an indigenous community. It's a family stay with the option to help with their daily work. You can help with everything from feeding the animals, harvesting crops, shelling beans collecting firewood, help preparing the food etc. The family is very open and I felt really at home during my stay. I recommend to stay at least a week as there is a lot to do and see in the Cotacachi area. And it gives you time to immerse yourself in the community life.

My family stayed with this lovely family for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They were very open to including us in their daily activities, if we were interested. Mario took us for a nice hike in the woods and told us about the plants we were passing. My children helped milk the cows, harvest corn, pick blackberries and there were 7 baby pigs born during our trip.
The house is made of adobe, as are most of the homes in the neighborhood. There are several adobe ovens nearby, where you can see people making bricks from adobe that are then baked.
Isabel is a wonderful cook, and made us delicious meals from scratch, with primarily home grown foods. There are numerous crops that are cultivated in this area that are not widely available, so the food was very good. All of the meals were large and they were eager to provide seconds, if we were interested. As vegetarians, she was open to accommodating us.
The home had the strongest wi-fi internet we have encountered so far on our trip. Not mentioned in the ad, they also provide filtered water and they washed our clothes (for no additional charge). My son got sick after eating out in the town and they made medicinal teas for him.
Rolando speaks English and he met us in town to take us to the house, which is located outside of the town of Cotacatchi. There are many interesting sites nearby (artisan tours, a waterfall, hiking, a lake with boats, the Otavalo market, a cultural museum in Cotacatchi, etc). A bus can let you off within a 15 minute walk to the house, or a taxi costs around $3 from Cotacatchi. Many people in the area speak the indigenous Kichwa language, so it is a good place to learn some phrases.
For travelers that don't want to try new foods, who want a TV in their room, and want to stay right in town, it isn't the ideal location. I would highly recommend this home for people interested in a more authentic traveling experience, while getting to know the local indigenous culture.response / report this review -

Bakan!!!!! para todos los que estén buscando un lugar tranquilo en medio de la naturaleza serrana Loma Wasi en la comunidad de Tunibamba a tan solo a 10 minutos de Cotacachi al Norte de la ciudad de Quito en el Ecuador.
Uno tendrá el gusto de pasear por sus hermosos caminos y contemplar increibles vistas en cualquier dirección, a mi lo que mas me gustó fue podér observar al volcán taita Imbabura y eterno cuidador de aquellas tierras, sin dejar de mencionar también el dormir a los pies del vocán Cotacachi.
Para quienes deseen dÃas de búsqueda interior, o simplemente alejárse del ruido y el caos citadino, no lo piense mas y visite este hermoso lugar.response / report this review
