traveling to Otavalo:<br>
The former Otavalo Hotel Ali Shungu was sold to a new owner
Maggie Reniers a year ago and is now known as La Posada del
Quinde. Maggie, like many of us, first came to Ecuador on a
college study abroad program. She has changed the restaurant and
lowered prices, while still maintaining high quality food and
service. She is open to having student groups stay and/or eat
there, and will arrange special prices. The Posada's two
apartment suites are also available for short or long-term stays
and would especially useful for faculty supervising a summer
study program, as the apartment could be used for group
meetings. <br>
I met Maggie last summer and was impressed with her and her
plans for the hotel. The current TripReports are outstanding.
Maggie can be reached at <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Maggie@posadaquinde.com"><Maggie@posadaquinde.com></a> and you
can also Google La Posada del Quinde.<br>
