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.

2/10 (1 review)
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.

5/5 - Excellent

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.
