Traveler Reviews of El Otro Lado

Amazing!

It has been a couple of years since my trip, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. This turned out to be the experience of a lifetime. It is located in such an adventurous and gorgeous setting. My wife was concerned about the hot water running out, but what do you expect? I told her that it is not a 5-star hotel. ;) Make sure to plan your trip in the spring when El Pailon Del Diablo is roaring from the meltoff. Best of luck to my friends at El Otro Lado! Thank you for your efforts to conserve this beautiful area of Ecuador!

The Other Side of life

As soon as you enter this 150-acre private nature reserve, you understand the meaning of tranquility! A private waterfall to bathe under, completly private and secluded cabins, amazing fauna and flora, great views of 5 different waterfalls, and very safe.  I loved it here.

El Otro Lado

A sacred place for meditation and reflexion. Go to be silent and appreciate the enormity of nature.

Paradise

The sweet, soft lullaby embrace of the forest sounds and insects pleased me greatly. Martin, the manager, is truly a remarkable person...I felt completely at ease and home here.

For nature lovers only

El Otro Lado is THEEEEE home of the Andean Cock of The Rock (Gallo de la Pen~a ) OVER 10 males in the lake, a 10 minute walk from the cabins. Also a great waterfall to shower under.
