Otavalo Indigenous Market Experience Full Day
We start our tour tasting tropical fruits in Guayllabamba town. We will do a stop-over in Cayambe, where we will visit Proyecto Quitsato. Accompanied by a specialized guide, we will learn about the solar sun, the astronomy of the ancestors and The Incas. We will visit the Fábrica de Bizcochos (Local Bread Factory) where we will learn how to prepare it and will taste this typical bread of the province.
Later on the route, we will stop at Lake San Pablo panoramic viewing point, where we will be able to take some pictures. After arriving to Otavalo, we will do some shopping in Plaza de los Ponchos (Poncho’s Square) where we will find various handcrafts and typical fabrics hand-made by the indigenous people.
We will have lunch in any of the typical restaurants recommended by our guide. Then we can choose to visit one of these 3 places: La Casa de los Instrumentos (The House of the Instruments) or the Indigenous Fabrics Gallery where we will learn about the hand-made fabric techniques and how to produce natural colors or, if you are a quality leather-lover, we can visit Cotacachi – The city of Leather.
