Introduction
To the north of Quito is a beautiful mountainous region bordering Colombia. It is here you'll find Otavalo, set in beautiful countryside and well worth exploring.
The enormous Saturday market, featuring an abundance of indigenous textiles and crafts, is unmatched and not to be missed.
Many people visit Otavalo to meet its native inhabitants and buy their wares and many of the city's streets are lined with stalls throughout the week.
