Experience Otavalo’s famous Saturday market, South America’s largest indigenous market. We’ll leave Quito early, driving through scenic mountain landscapes to the north.

Shop for textiles, paintings, ceramics, jewelry, tapestries, and more at competitive prices.
After the market, we’ll continue to Cotacachi, known for its leather goods, where you can have lunch. Finally, we’ll visit Peguche, a small village famous for its waterfalls and traditional wind instrument weaving.
