Puyo
This gorgeous spot is just across the footbridge by the entrance to the Parque Omaere, 1km from the center of town. It feels more like a jungle lodge than a city hotel, with 10 rooms housed in a wooden building on two floors and decorated with local arts and crafts.
The eponymous garden is as magnificent as you’d expect, and there’s a superb restaurant. Luxuries, such as massage and a hot tub, are also available.
