V!VA User‘s Description

El Otro Lado, "The Other Side," is about 1 km off the main road from Baños to Puyo on the path to the Pailón del Diablo waterfall just across the suspended bridge. As of November 2004, the cabañas were closed for remodeling but were planning to open in December 2004, so call ahead if you want to stay deep in the forest and be lulled to sleep by the rushing waterfall a few meters away. The open-air restaurant has great views of the waterfall and is a perfect place to build up energy for the hike back up to the road.

The cabañas sleep four and are $35/night. El Otro Lado restaurant has appetizers, salads, Mexican dishes and some vegetarian dishes all for under $4.

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.

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.
