Northward bound we go through the mountains towards Otavalo; a bustling town home to a large indigenous population, noticeable by their traditional garb of wool hats, golden necklaces, intricately embroidered blouses and long black skirts. To charge up for the ride ahead we will stop to try a local delicacy of biscotti with cheese and caramel--a real sweet way to begin our adventure! Our ride takes us over the hills and through dirt-patched paths and roads used to connect the farms of local families, passing pastures of quinoa and other grains that are the way of life of the people in the region. Our final stop takes us to the colourful and captivating Otavalo Market. The largest indigenous market in Ecuador, let the aisles of locally crafted fabrics, jumpers, carvings, and jewellery inspire you to take a piece of Ecuador home with you in your heart and in your suitcase.
