Overview

Private Tour; focused on sharing our history from a more indigenous context and point of view; highway full of prehispanic evidence, roses production, solar knowledge, cultural heritage, food, and history. Starting with a local brunch and coffee at San Pablo's Lake with 2 of the most important volcanoes in front of us! Continues a nature walk around their spiritual waterfall temple called Peguche!
Heading to Otavalo we will enjoy and understand their history, traditions, gastronomy, and culture at their main square known worldwide as "Plaza de Los Ponchos", one of the most beautiful artisan markets in América.
Is a good, interesting, and cheap way to enjoy a full day trip not far from Quito and for buying local high-quality original cheap handmade Andean products or souvenirs. Accompanied by a certificated Tour Guide/Driver, an open-minded cultural ambient, good music, and nice conversations.
