Otavalo Market & Peguche Falls Tour med Bizcochos – Fra Quito

We had a Amazon trip with our guide Pedro. The tour starter with some biscuits tasting which was very good and then to the Otavalo market. Pedro was very helpful and good to tell and explain everything. On the way back we stopped in Cotacachi. The day was very good.

It was an incredible tour of Otavalo, from the moment I was picked up from my hotel, to the delicious biscuit and cheese tasting. Afterward, we went to Lake Cuicocha, where the views were breathtaking. I loved the handmade crafts at the Otavalo market. They shared part of their culture in Peguche, learning about their worldview. The guide gave me interesting information, and since it was a shared tour, I had the opportunity to meet different people.

I had an incredible experience on the Otavalo tour. I visited the beautiful Cuicocha Lagoon and Peguche Waterfall, enjoyed some delicious biscuits in Cayambe, and I visited the famous Otavalo market, where I found spectacular handicrafts. The tour was organized excellently, Carolina the guide was very friendly, and everything was well coordinated. Definitely recommended for those who want to experience the best of this region!!! 😊

We had a really great day with Ricki! We were only 4 away and it made the day very present and personal! Ricki was a passionate and skilled guide who shared so many amazing things with us! We would recommend everyone to book the trip with him :-)

We took this tour with Ricky Espinosa. He arrived at our hotel right on time. He was a careful but effective driver. He provided information in his very good English, on a wide variety of topics. We had interesting explanations of the making of the special cookies and a sample and more information on agave and viewed some nice artwork. We had a relaxing cup of hot chocolate and the opportunity to buy products produced there. We then moved to the Equator museum for a good explanation and brief tour. After that we drove to the lake in the volcanic crater for a short hike, pictures, and an explanation. We had a short stop in the town where quality leaher goods are available at reasonable prices. We then went to Pehuche Falls and walked to see them. Our last stop was Otavalo market where we had 90 minutes to shop and/or have lunch. Ricky was knowledgeable and helpful the whole trip and we enjoyed our time with him. We always felt safe and saw nothing in any place that was threatening in any way. Ricky made the trip very interesting and enjoyable. We highly recommend this excursion from Quito if you would like to visit beautiful places, learn intersection facts about Equador, and do some shopping.

Excellent tour with an excellent guide! From the moment we got picked up the guide was concerned for our comfort and well being. We even wanted to modify the tour slightly by spending longer in one destination and skip another one and he let us do this. Altogether an excellent experience in this beautiful country!

Pedro and Carolina are great guides and drivers. They have been able to tell us a lot about the country and have always responded to our wishes. It was a great tour with interesting stops

David was amazing, with him we took a tour of otavalo, peguche, cotacachi and cuicocha. He took us to wonderful places, he was friendly, super helpful and kind, he explained a lot of things to us and responded to our every availability. 5 stars well deserved, I highly recommend it

Really great tour of the sites north of Quito. The sites were really beautiful, I never felt rushed at any of the stops, and the guide shared cool facts all along the way. My advice would be to have an idea of what you want before going to the Otavalo market and the leather goods stores at Cotocachi, we did and were able to find just what we wanted (including the perfect leather jacket!) and then stumble upon fun additional things to buy. And get some bizcochos to go! So delicious!

Our tour of Otavalo Market+ was great! The tour was exactly the same as the description when booking. It was only our group on the tour so we were able to be flexible and order additional bizcochos for example, or stop to get coffee. Our guide Pedro was very friendly and taught us about local plants/wildlife, mountains and volcanos, indigenous culture and language of the Otovaleños, and also recommended restaurants for us in Quito. We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel which was very convenient. I would recommend this tour to others visiting!
