Private Full-Day Tour From Quito to Otavalo Indigenous Market

Best trip to Out Door Market

Pato our driver went out of his way on this full day tour to Otavalo where the outdoor market place was. He picked us up in Quito at the JW Marriott hotel in his private comfortable Suv. Our 1st stop was in Guayllabamba where we tried some local fruit. It was very tasty. Then he took us to the town of Cayambe to a local place for a light snack. The restaurant was called Del Padre. Pato took us back in the kitchen to watch the staff make these biscuits called Los Bizcohos. It was very interesting to watch how they keep the tradition of baking these biscuits with a wood burning oven. Then Pato took us to the town of Cangahua to the El Solar Museum. That was very interesting to learn more about our solar system and eclipse and the equator. Then Pato took us to the town of Otavalo for the outdoor Market Place. Alot of vendors displaying all hand made goods to jewlery, clothing, leather goods, rugs, wooven blankets, and such. Very reasonable prices too. Vendors will negotiate for the best price for you. Then we went to a local place for lunch with Pato for authentic Ecudorian food. It was very good food and very reasonable. Then Pato took us on the way back to a local musician named Nanda Manachi that makes hand made wooden instruments. He was very gracious and gave us a brief musical performance. Then we ended our trip at a local artist, named Jose C. that makes beautiful hand wooven Tapestries. I would highly recommend this full day trip to the Outdoor Market in Otavalo with our Driver, Pato. He went above and beyond to make this experience the most enjoyable.
