Parque acuático Araque is on San Pablo lake side. Very very nice place, quiet and safe. A bit busy on sundays. Can swim in the lake and the river. There are toilets and a restaurant, but only during the weekends. Games for kids, natural pool, we loved this place and free! To find the place look for a big sign on the road, after Cabañas del Lago. Is not very far from Otavalo center, you can leave your car on the lake and take the bus to the town for only 35ctvs.
stick to the entrance of the restaurant to have a good internet connection.
/// El parque acuatico Araque esta a orillas de la laguna de San Pablo. El lugar es muy lindo y podés estacionar a orillas del rio. Tranquilo, seguro y gratis. Solo hay más gente durante los domingos. Los fines de semana abre un restaurante y baños. Se puede nadar en la laguna y en el rio. Hay una piscina natural y juegos para niños. Nos encantó este lugar y es gratis! Cerca del centro de Otavalo, te puedes tomar el bus al centro por solo 35cts usd. Para encontrar el lugar buscar un cartel sobre la carretera que dice PARQUE ACUATICO ARAQUE, una vez que se pasan las Cabañas del Lago.

Nos quedamos una noche en este lugar sin ningún problema. El tema es que ahora está algo cerrado ya que hubo un incidente con unas personas que se ahogaron en el lago. En la noche estuvimos solos y fue bastante seguro.
