Otalvalo with the Andes in background, Ecuador
Passion Fruit Flower in Peguche Village, Ecuador, where we visited the home of a local craftsman who makes musical instruments and they played us a traditional ecuadorian song.   Afterwards we hiked to the Las Cascades de Peguche, a beautiful waterfall.  Located 3 km north of Otovalo.

City tour of #Quito, #Ecuador revealed a beautiful city with lots of #architecture, #history, and a few surprises.  If you only have one day in Quito, I highly recommend a city tour that includes #Otavalo #Market with gorgeous #textiles made by proud, hardworking Ecuadorians. The drive thru the countryside and mountains alone is worth it.

El propietario es uno de los peores con los que he tenido un trato. Se desentendio de mi reservacion. Cuando yo me llame, dijo que no tenía reservacion y lo rento a alguien más. Fue un descarado y no ayudo en nada. Me disgusto mucho esa persona.

Beautiful town with a fun Wednesday marketplace. Frittatas were excellent. Would gladly come back again.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Not a small town but not a city. The popular is primarily Indian, and the town is promoting that. But it seems authentic.
