Otavalo
Otavalo is a small town in Ecuador that is situated about 100 kilometers north of Quito. Initially there is not much to see in this little town, but it gets pretty colorful and busy on Saturday mornings when the natives begin to display their goods in Poncho Square. They sell virtually everything here, including carpets, blankets, belts and all other kinds of nick-naks. Everything is created by hand with skills that have been handed down from one generation to the next. This, in turn, is influenced by their own creative impulses.

Cuando visite Ecuador me encontre con una nueva Cuenca. Una ciudad muy industrial, ya NO turustica. Los hoteles no tienen ningun "rating", el servicio hotelero y vida nocturna extremadamente deficiente. El UNICO buen hotel el El Oro Verde, del resto NO se puede hablar. Quito y Guayaquil EXPECTACULAR. Hubiese visitado Riobamba, ciudad muy importante, pero en 2010 todavia sin aeropuerto, que lastima!
