    Otavalo Market

    We will begin our day biking down from the foothills of Imbabura volcano. We will start descending on grass and dirt patched paths and roads that connect local indigenous people’s farms. Along the way we will pass corn and quinoa plantations—staples in the local diet. Once at the base of the volcano we will leisurely continue on along the side of the San Pablo Lake while taking in the spectacular panorama of seemingly endless mountains accompanied by the gentle winds coming across the lake. Later we will visit Peguche, a town where we will visit an indigenous artisan family who will teach us how they weave and make their clothing. The bike ride will take about four hours total afterwards which we will head towards the Otavalo market where you can stroll through aisles of local handicrafts in search of the perfect souvenir to take home to remember your visit to Ecuador!
