Excursion to Otavalo Market, Ecuador
Located within easy driving distance two hours north of Quito, many day trips are available, but it's better to allow several days to see not only the famous market in Otavalo, but to visit the nearby villages, where villages follow an ancient craft and supply many of the textiles sold in their own markets as well as in Otavalo. The spring-like climate makes this an all-season destination, but the warmest months are July - September.
