Shopping and Sightseeing in Ecuador

Wonderful finds in Ecuador (Philly,com): "Haciendas and Indian crafts markets - it sounded like a good way to see Ecuador."

And it is. In this account, the author reports on a visit to Quito, with exzcursions to market towns, including the famed market at Otavalo, with stays at some of the colonial-era haciendas of Ecuador, notably the Hacienda Cusin, a drive down Volcano Alley to see Cotopaxi volcano in Cotopaxi National Park, and finishing with a visit to Cuenca.
