Otavalo is a beautiful Andean town populated mostly by the native indigenous peoples of the area. It is surrounded by the volcanoes: Cotacachi, Imbabura, and Mojanda. It also has a nearby lake called Lago San Pablo that offers a handful of water sports & recreational activities. Because the water is pretty cold year round, wearing a wetsuit is recommended. Otavalo is most well known for the Indigenous market in the central Plaza de Ponchos, where they sell colorful textiles, handcrafts, jewelry, Indigenous art, and much more. Near the market there is an Obraje Museum that includes textile exhibits and other ancient Indigenous made artifacts like wicker baskets and pots. Or, you could take an extended trip with Adventure Life and visit Otavalo along with the Amazon and Galapagos Islands. Contact our travel experts to plan your ideal trip to Ecuador today!

Prompt responses with full details needed to make our decision. Mary gave all her contact info including time she is available and website to schedule a call so we knew what to expect.
My only issue was the means to change to a personal password. Once I asked Mary she connected me with her admin person and I accomplished the change.
