Beschrijving
Discover the culture of Otavalo on a private tour from Quito. Visit the Peguche Waterfall, explore the Otavalo Market, and learn about the ancient weaving techniques of the Kichwa Otavalo.
Begin your journey with a visit to the Quitsato Sun Museum, where you will discover the ancestral connection between indigenous peoples, the universe, and the sun. Visit the sundial, symbol of cosmic balance.
Next, take incredible photos of the Imbabura volcano and the immense Lake San Pablo. While enjoying the views, try the delicious traditional bizcochos (savory cookies or crackers) served with dulce de leche and local cheese. Your guide will take this opportunity to offer you an interesting introduction to the local culture of Otavalo.
We will venture along the Route of the Ancient Weavers, visiting the homes and workshops of the Kichwa Otavalo communities. Observe up close the ancestral process in which expert hands transform threads into colorful ponchos, scarves, tapestries, and other works of art.
Then, walk along a forest-lined trail to reach the majestic 18-meter-high Peguche waterfall, where you will discover its ancestral significance and learn about the traditional activities that the communities carry out in this meaningful place.
Finally, explore the largest indigenous craft market in South America, where the colors and textures will awaken your senses.
After our incredible visit, our guide will take you back to your hotel in Quito.
