Page Importance:
Perched up in the quiet hills a few miles south of Otavalo, La Luna feels like a home away from home and is an excellent choice for backpackers who want to chill out for a few days. The charming lodge-style hostel offers beautiful views of the valley – particularly from the hammocks on the terrace. The cozy indoor/outdoor restaurant serves basic, but wholesome, food, and there's a wood-burning stove for colder evenings. The restaurant sometimes has live Andean music on Saturday nights. The lounge has plenty of games to keep you occupied, as well as a DVD player and a selection of DVDs in English.
The rates recently rose (no surprise given its excellent value and service) but are still quite reasonable. Since it can get chilly at night, La Luna generously offers extra blankets. Ask for one of the rooms with a fireplace and enjoy a cozy slumber to lullabies of crackling wood. A taxi from the town costs around $3 during the day, $4 at night.
There are several good walks in the area, and the helpful English/Ecuadorian owners can provide you with a map and suggest some good routes. They can also arrange transport to the Lagunas de Mojanda, as well as organize horseback riding and mountain-biking trips.

Andean Gem!
This place was a real beauty, from its gorgeous hillside views to the crackling bedroom fireplace to the hammocks, perfect for lounging after our long day of shopping in Otavalo. The staff is friendly and helped us organize a trip to the nearby Mojanda lakes. There were several massive (but cuddly!) dogs to protect us and keep us company. Cozy and cute, La Luna was the perfect weekend getaway for my boyfriend and me.
A beautiful place
It's a very relaxing and comfortable place.
We love La Luna
We've stayed there three different times. Cozy, home-y, friendly helpful staff and the most beautiful setting you can imagine. The dogs are great too. It cools off in the evenings so fireplaces in the rooms are a great feature.
Very nice moments
The charming atmosphere is really nice. If you stay in a room on ground floor you may experience noise from 1st floor rooms
