Otavalo & Cotacachi Properties

Cotacachi and Otavalo´s Top Properties and Real Estate Developments

Cotacachi and Otavalo are both small towns located about 2 hours north of Ecuador´s capital city, Quito. Cotacachi is nestled between two volcanoes. Situated in beautiful landscapes it is only a 30 minute drive from Lago San Pablo, Ecuador´s largest lake. The town is located adjacent to the Cayapas Ecological Reserve, with over 750,000 protected acres of forest. Cotacachi itself is home to numerous leather artisans, where you can find dozens of stores selling fine leather jackets, belts, shoes, and more along its main street 10 de Agosto. Since 2007, when International Living began promoting this village, a sizable expat community has begun to arrive, attracted to its beautiful Andean views and low cost of living.

Unlike Cotacachi, where the expat culture is well defined, Otavalo is home to a rich indigenous culture. With 90,000 inhabitants, it is much larger than its neighbor Cotacachi. On Saturdays, the massive market overflows from the Plaza de Ponchos and colorful textiles and crafts fill tents along streets in a third of the city. Otavaleños are famous for their weavings, everything from blankets and bags to sweaters and gloves. They are easily recognized by their traditional dress, white pants and dark ponchos for men, and brightly colored dresses for women.

While most residents or make the trip to Ibarra or Quito for all but the most common doctor´s visits, for many, the slow pace of life these two Andean towns offer has been just what the doctor ordered.

Otavalo is a magnet for tourists looking to experience one of the oldest indigenous markets in Latin America. Located in the northern Andes, it’s an area known for glacier lakes, soaring mountains, and waterfalls where hiking, biking, and horseback riding are very popular. At less than 90 minutes from Quito’s International Airport, it’s an easy destination for global travelers. Tambo Inti is a perfect resort for people who want to be near all the attractions but also have a tranquil respite at the end of the day. This hosteria has an excellent reputation for offering guests a choice of beautiful accomodations. First, there is the 100-year-old restored manor house with antiques and Old World charm. This main house has three suites downstairs and three more upstairs. In addition, there are four cabins with wide covered porches. The four cabins make the total 10 units. All the rooms are family friendly suites TV, WIFI, usually three beds and some with fireplaces. Many of the decorations are from the market in Otavalo which gives the spaces authentic warmth. Guests’ remarks are that the decor is very tasteful and well thought out. They always rave about strolling the grounds and most mention the excellent food. There is a lovely restaurant in the manor house which features expansive fireside dining indoors and a wrap around terrace where eating al fresco is a must on sunny mountain mornings. The kitchen prep area is well equipped to handle most any size group. Upstairs there is a covered terrace that can also be used for receptions. From up there, you see mountains and can survey the manicured pathways that lead to the rest of the resort. For large parties such as weddings, business retreats, or family reunions, there is separate banquet hall designed to serve bbq or pizzas to a crowd seated at long wooden tables. The bar makes it easy to mix drinks and the kitchen area is set up to serve buffet style. Another building is a party room with round tables for smaller groups or maybe music and dancing after the banquet. It would also be ideal for business training meetings. For recreation, there’s a kiddie playground, picnic area, fire pit, and a game room with billiards and ping pong. Over an acre of gardens to explore make this an appealing place to stay and a good investment for the savvy buyer looking for a turnkey operation in a thriving community. It’s a plus that there is a separate laundry room built in 2019, ample secure parking, and emergency generator. This is a truly spectacular resort! If that’s not enough to entice you to come look, there’s more! The owner built his home near the hosteria and is selling this two bed/two and a half bath cottage in a separate listing. There are only two lots (half acre each) left for building in the gated community that abuts this property. The bundle price for the hosteria, house and two lots is only $840,000! If you’ve imagined yourself living in a mountain paradise while running a successful inn, give us a call!
