The vibrant Otavalo culture was evident throughout my stay. The town was explored, and the rich traditions and friendly nature of the local people were experienced firsthand. The Otavalo indigenous market, conveniently located a short walk from the hostel, was a visual feast, showcasing intricate craftsmanship in the form of colorful textiles and meticulously crafted handmade items. It was a humbling experience to witness the deep-rooted cultural heritage on display.
The culinary journey in Otavalo was equally unforgettable. Traditional Ecuadorian dishes were savored, including the delectable empanadas filled with flavorful goodness and hearty soups brimming with locally sourced ingredients.
