PLAZA DE PONCHOS-SHOPPING The center of Otavalo and only four blocks from Hotel Ali Shungu. Absolutely the best shopping in the country! There is a handicraft market each day but Saturday is the big day. Artisans from all regions of the country offer their crafts. Beware of the slick pickpockets! |
|
ANIMAL & LIVESTOCK MARKET Saturday only. Located on the panamerican highway on the west side of town. Get there early as the best deals happen between 6:00 and 8:00. a.m. See a Video |
|
FOOD AND PRODUCE MARKET At the top of Calle Jaramillo. Plenty of local color every day especially on Saturday. The old timers come in from the hills for their weekly chores. A must see! See a Video |
|
PEGUCHE WATERFALLS About a forty-five minutes walk from the center of town. Find the railroad tracks east of town, head north following the tracks and the cobblestone road until they separate. Continue on the road up the hill and to the right into the park. Acres and acres of an eighty year old forest and lovely waterfalls. |
