Otavalo Indian Market

Saturday, December 22, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday, we visited the Otavalo Indian Market and surrounding areas, which is definitely going to be a highlight of the trip to Ecuador.  This is where indigenous people sell and show their trade.  Part of the experience is to bargain and negotiate with the vendors.  I do not really like this part of the experience, because we have so much, they have so little, and because of this,  the negotiation is unequal … much like our experience in Zambia.

We had to take a private tour to the area, which is about 2 hours north of Quito, but it was totally worth it.

By the way, we did buy a lot.
