Den bedste Otavalo Market Tour + San Pablo Lake + Cayambe + Cotacachi
Beskrivelse
Dette er en sjov og afslappende tur på Otavalo Market. Du vil gøre stop ved fantastiske foodie-steder, tjekke en smuk sø, besøge Quitsato-soluret, få en god kop ecuadoriansk kaffe, nyde nogle velsmagende bizcochos og snoreost, få den bedste skive tærte i Ecuador, nyde frokosten på en gourmet sandwich og burger stop i Cotacachi (læderby) og shop til du slipper på den berømte Otavalo Indigenous-markedsplads. Det handler om at have det sjovt, spise god mad og nyde livet som lokal i Ecuador.

Rejseplan
Et af vores første stop på turen er den dejlige by Cayambe. Du kommer til at køre forbi det unikke bycentrum og pladserne, mens du kommer til den bedste Bizcocho (kiks) og String Cheese fabrik i Ecuador. Bizcochos laves friske og fra bunden hver dag. Du kan se dem blive lavet og placeret i de traditionelle ovne. Disse bizcochos er meget velsmagende og kombineret med snoreosten udgør en lækker morgensnack. Du kan også nyde dulce de leche (karamel) og få en hurtig kop kaffe eller varm chokolade. Dette stop er den perfekte kur mod træghed om morgenen.
Når vi ankommer til Otavalo, tager vi til den berømte Plaza de Los Ponchos. De indfødte Otavalo-folk er berømte for at væve tekstiler, normalt lavet af uld, som sælges på det berømte marked. Lørdage ses markedet udvide sig over hele byen, men enhver anden dag vil du finde sælgere og stande på Mercado de Los Ponchos. Butikkerne sælger tekstiler som håndlavede tæpper, duge, kunsthåndværk, malerier og meget mere. Jeg elsker Otavalo-markedet, du kan altid finde noget interessant eller finurligt at tage med hjem som souvenirs eller til at dekorere dit hjem. Det er altid sjovt at prutte med sælgerne og høre deres historier.
Vi stopper ved Lago (Lake) San Pablo for lidt betænkningstid midt i de smukke og fredelige omgivelser. Der er en chance for at finde forfædres kajakker, der bruges til kapløb i søen af lokalbefolkningen. Jeg havde en chance for at opleve disse forfædres kajakker, og det er en mærkelig, men vidunderlig oplevelse. Hvis vi planlægger dette på forhånd, er der små både, der tager dig rundt om søen, det er en fed oplevelse.
Cotacachi er en dejlig Andesby midt i bjergene. Byen er smuk, meget velholdt, organiseret og malerisk. Du føler dig sikker og ikke overfyldt, når du går ned ad Cotacachis hovedgade, hvor du finder de bedste læderprodukter i Ecuador. Cotacachi har altid været berømt for sine læderprodukter såsom jakker, punge, punge, bælter, sko osv. I dag har nye lokale modedesignere skabt smukke og unikke læderprodukter, som du kan shoppe efter. Mange af mine tidligere kunder har ledt efter den perfekte læderjakke og har fundet den i Cotacachi. Efter lidt vinduesshopping spiser vi frokost på et fantastisk sandwich- og burgersted, der bruger håndværksbrød, lokalt oksekød og laver de friskeste og lækreste godbidder i byen. Hvis du er en kaffeelsker som mig, tager vi en kaffe efter frokost i en ny hipster cool kaffelounge i Cotacachi. Tro mig, dette sted serverer en dårlig kaffe.

Sergio was very knowledgeable. We saw everything we wanted to. For the beginning of the drive conversation was minimal. Felt that we could have gotten more information and knowledge during that time. Best when we initiated conversations.
Hi Shannon, thanks for your good review. I'm glad you had a good time with Sergio. I'll let him know about being more talkative next time around.
Andres did an amazing job showing our friend group parts of Quito on our way to Otavalo. He shared so much information about the area and the history of the highlands. We enjoyed the local Biscottis and coffee. The Museo Solar was something that should not be missed. The highlands tour is a must. Andres was a fantastic host and guide for our trip to this beautiful area.

Hi guys, thanks for the great review. I had a great time with you guys during the whole trip. Hope you had a blast in Ecuador. Cheers!
We had a very good trip at the two markets and solar museum and the bisnocho place. Diego is a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. I spent more time than scheduled in the Otavalo market which pushed the return time more than an hour late and there was traffic coming back. Diego waited patiently. While in the solar museum Diego showed us around the Agavae garden and gave us detailed explanation on each variety. It was a great experience. Learned a lot at solar museum. Bisnocho was delicious. Lunch was very tasty, bought what I like in the markets. Highly recommend this trip and highly recommend Diego.

Hi Kemberly thanks for the amazing review on our guide Jean Pierre. He is awesome and always delivers when it comes to the Otavalo tour. I'll see you today for the cooking class. Cheers!
Excellent tour of markets and a few bonus points. Galapagos Connoisseur LLC did a wonderful job. We were picked up on time at our Hotel. Our guide, Gean Pierre was most attentive to what we wanted to do on the day tour. We got everything accomplished and never felt rushed. The time in the car was filled with information on a wide range of subjects that came to mind. Our brief time in Quito was really enhanced by going to these markets. We walked away with travel treasures that would otherwise not be found. Thanks so much Gean for your knowledge and support.
Hi Randy, thanks for the wonderful review. I'm so happy you had a great trip to Otavalo Market with JP. Cheers!
