Things to do in Lago Agrio

  1. Maytos

    Serves maitos (fish grilled in palm leaves) Huaorani-style, but with a garlicky twist. Wrapped in banana leaves and steamed over hot coals, the flavors steam into the moist, flaky fish, served alongside patacones (plantain fritters) and rice. Perfect with a tall, cold brew. Next to the Texaco station, just over 3km out of town.

  2. Gran Colombia Restaurant

    Oil workers refuel here at the end of the day with set meals doused in lip-burning ají (hot sauce). The regular menu offers tasty plates such as chuleta (pork chops) and ceviche.
