Transfer from Quito to Otavalo
Region: North-Andes
Today you will be picked up from your accommodation in Quito and brought to Otavalo in private transport. Surrounded by the peaks of Imbabura, Cotacachi and Mojanda volcanoes, Otavalo is the capital of this Canton and is a largely indigenous town in the Imbabura province of Ecuador. Here you can feel the old culture! The Otavaleños have a lot of pride in their traditional Kichwa culture and still wear their traditional clothing to this day. You will notice that men wear white trousers, a blue poncho and a black hat and that the women wear a white blouse with beautiful embroidered flowers on it, a long black skirt, sometimes with a white stripe on it and often they braid colourful materials in their hair. The music is important for them, when you walk through the city you may find musicians or farmers selling food and textiles. Otavalo has many things to discover!
