Llamas at the Dinner table in Puerto Lago Ecuador

by on July 20, 2009

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the site.

This past week I have been having many thoughts  about a very cool restaurant I ate at 2 months ago.  It’s called Puerto Lago Restaurant and it’s in Ecuador right between Cotacachi and Otavalo.   I was there with some dear friends for a birthday bash.  The birthday boy Paul had a very good time.

Minutes from now Paul and I thought we saw a UFO over the lake !

We had been drinking but it sure looked real to us. NOPE it was just my flash on the camera and I was trying to take a picture through the window. Stupid me , but we had alot of fun showing people the photo.

The restaurant looks right out over the lake and in fact you can almost touch the water if you could lift the window up.  You can rent paddle boats at the lake and take boat rides,  they even have Llamas to pet and a couple small tents full of Llama wool sweaters and Llama wool shawls for purchase.

The interior of the restaurant is very unique.  The woodwork is wonderful and they had a couple cool chairs that especially stood out to me.  Cool chairs at puerto Lago ecuador

The even have a few rental cottages right on the property that are so cute. Almost like something out of a Hansel and Grettle story or something.  Would probably be a very relaxing weekend to spend in Ecuador. Eat till you drop everyday then shop till you drop and then chase the Llamas and then take a swim.  Well OK maybe just a boat ride. The water looks awful cold.

After my 1st visit we planned on going back one more time but I just ran out of time before I left for the states. Well I’m coming back to Ecuador shortly and I plan on stopping in for Sunday brunch and I can’t wait.

I plan on sitting right in front of the window and watching the UFO’s fly over the lake and then I will chase a few Llamas and then probably buy every Llama wool Sweater and Llama wol shawl I can get my hands on.  The Shawls are to die for !  At least that’s what all the girls I have been showing them to have said to me.

The property has many beautiful flowerbeds in front of the restaurant which make for great photographs. If your a good photographer. I’m not !
