Otavalo & Cuicocha: Cultural and Natural Adventure
The adventure starts early in the morning with a transfer from your hotel in Quito to “the region of the lakes” On the way we will dicover fantastic landscapes while we drive to the Otavalo City.
The first stop is the famous indigenous market of Otavalo or also known as “Plaza de los Ponchos”. It´s a great moment not only to buy directly from the artisan, is also a unique time to experience the Otavalo culture, the distinctive clothing of men and women, their native language “kichwa” and the delicious food typical in this zone like quinoa soup
In the afternoon, as we pass by the town of Cotacachi, known for its high-quality leather products, we will visit Cuicocha Lake, located within the crater of the Cuicocha Volcano, a natural attraction with coral waters. Here you can explore the lake in a motor boat before return to Quito
