INDIGENOUS MARKET, OTAVALO (1 day)
Otavalo is a well-known market, in Ecuador and around the world, through its exceptional craftsmanship.
A major aspect of the ethnic identity of the ´´Otavalos´´ Indians is their costume. For men, this consists of a blue poncho, white shirt and mid-calf pants, a fedora-type hat and their hair combed into a long braid. The women are dressed in embroidered blouses, blue skirts and shawls as well as several layers of gold necklaces and red beaded bracelets. Both men and women wear “alpargatas”, a type of sandal.
Leaving Quito towards the North via Cayambe, you can observe the Cayambe Volcano, in favorable weather. A short break at the edge of Lake San Pablo to continue towards Otavalo. Visit to the market and free time to do business with the Indians. After lunch, you will continue your journey to Cotacachi (known for its leather crafts), and Quicocha where you will take the last photos of the day before returning to Quito.
