Cotacachi:
Cotacachi, considered the music capital
of Ecuador, is located north of Quito in the beautiful province of
Imbabura. This is a peaceful and enchanting city with fertile soils,
pastures and hills, set at the foot of the Cotacachi volcano offering
all the modern amenities while keeping its small town charm.
Surrounded by majestic mountains,
tourists stop by here to enjoy the panorama and to look over and purchase,
among many other things, the locally made leather goods – the
best the country offers. Stores are lined up all along the town’s
main street, where you can find a beautiful and interesting array
of leather goods, crafts, restaurants, etc. There are several good
hotels, many first class restaurants featuring the best Ecuadorian
and International cuisine and it is home to the world famous exquisite
spa, La Mirage.
The Indian market of Otavalo, considered
the largest and most famous open market in the world, is part of the
Cotacachi experience and one you would want to repeat many times.
Walking among the dozens of stalls, in the mist of an explosion of
colors and aromas, you will be surrounded by a collection of indigenous
people wearing their colorful regional dress, while you shop for textiles,
woolens, jewelry, handicrafts and hundreds of other goods. The weaving
skills of the Otavalenos is world renown making them the most prosperous
Indian group in Ecuador and perhaps of the South American continent.
A walk in the streets of any town in Ecuador will offer a view of
their indigenous people in their traditional dress. These are not
just costumes for the tourist, but traditional dress worn throughout
the day as they go about their business.
