Otavalo Ecuador

Otavalo is a city in the Andean highlands of the province of Imbabura, north of Ecuador. It is surrounded by volcanoes, such as the Imbabura volcano. It is known for its Otavalo market in the central Plaza de Ponchos, where locals dressed in traditional indigenous clothing sell colorful textiles and handicrafts. Nearby is the El Obraje Textiles Museum, which displays textile exhibitions and fabric demonstrations. Near the city is Peguche, one of the many surrounding villages and known for its traditional fabrics. On the outskirts of Peguche and between the eucalyptus trees, the Peguche Waterfall is located. A place that was considered sacred in the time of the Incas and is now a famous site for picnics. Near this place is the Condor Park, a bird sanctuary and home to Andean condors and owls. North of Otavalo is the city of Cotacachi, known for its leather products. The trails on the shores of Lake Cuicocha, which was formed from a crater, have panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. To the south of Otavalo, the Mojanda lakes are attractive for hikers and bird watchers.
