 The largest fair is held every Saturday, but it continues every day. The current market is a place where cultures come together. Here you will find Tigua paintings, Salasacas tapestries, carved sculptures from San Antonio de Ibarra, Cotacachi leather clothes, Saraguros handicrafts as well as from the Quechua ethnics from the Amazonas Region, and also from countries like Peru and Bolivia. We can say that at this point Otavalo is now a Cultural Front.
You can find Otavalo traditional handicrafts that although designs have been changed and diversified, its raw material and quality continue to reflect the thinking and worldview of these people. |

 Otavalo is visited by both local and foreign tourists. Nowadays it is one of the most important tourist destinations of Ecuador. People are attracted by its tremendous cultural wealth. Otavalo Quechua and Mestizo White populations are defending their identity which is hardened by their legends, myths, traditions and ancient practices that were received in legacy from their ancestors. |
