Otavalo- north of Quito

The town of Otavalo is situated in an adjoining valley to the North of Ecuador's capital, Quito.
The road climbs the Andes ranges and valleys and is highly spectacular. Deep river valleys.

Otavalo is known for its high population of indigenous people and the local markets. Many of the items on sale are crafted by the local peoples and reasonably priced, highly colourful and unique in design.

We also visited a local artisan
All the articles were made locally. He did not use patterns for his designs, so his work was highly unique
