Otavalo: Day tour

Discover Otavalo, a vibrant destination in Ecuador! Famous for its indigenous market, offers a unique experience with local crafts, colorful textiles, and a rich cultural heritage.
Our journey begins at approximately 8:00 AM at the designated meeting point for this tour. We will head north of the city, and after about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will arrive at QUITSATO, a large 52-meter (170 Ft.) diameter solar clock made from a grand stone mosaic that marks the different lines of the solstices and equinoxes, as well as the hours of the day. These are indicated by the shadow projection of a 10-meter (32 Ft.) tall post located exactly in the center of this large circular platform. Here, we will learn about the fascinating history of the geodesic missions in the Ecuadorian Andes and the great importance of solstices and equinoxes in the world.

Next, we will proceed to Otavalo, where we will visit its traditional and renowned PONCHO MARKET, the most famous indigenous market in South America. Here, you can find a wide variety of crafts: exquisitely woven fabrics, wool ponchos, hats, tapestries, hand-knitted sweaters, scarves, carved tagua jewelry, and even Andean musical instruments.

Twenty-five minutes away is the parish of Gonzales Suarez, where the Sacha Warmikuna (Women of the Mountain) project is located. Here, we will enjoy a delicious lunch and take a tour of the alstroemerias, the garden, the roses, and the strawberries, and you will participate in preparing the chili sauce.

We will return to Quito around 17:00.
