Home town of one the famous indigenous markets in the world. This market is open every day but on Saturday become in the biggest market in South America. Otavalo city is located 60 miles north of Quito. Driving trough the Pan-American highway different stops can be made in order to appreciate landscapes, taste new fruits and visiting small towns.
Once in Otavalo area several interesting sites are waiting for you. Volcanoes, Lagoons, waivers, animal market, condor park, rose farm, archeological ruins, small towns famous for it’s leather or woodcarving production.
One of the best ways to learn about local culture is visiting a local market
This trip is not about the market only, is about culture, landscapes, volcanoes, history and art.
We recommend two nights in this beautiful area in Ecuador… Otavalo Market is where handicrafts from different corners in Ecuador are exposed. This is an excellent exhibition of Ecuadorian textile production
