The Otavalo Market in Otavalo, Ecuador is South America’s largest market and on Saturdays the whole town comes out for an orgy of awesomeness.
You can buy anything from snails and mystery meat to fake shrunken heads and dream catchers. For those of you who know about my addiction to markets you can understand what a great day this was for me in Otavalo.

The Otavalo Market in Otavalo Ecuador
If you’re ever in Ecuador, take the 2 hour bus ride from Quito to Otavalo on a Saturday morning and experience true Ecuadorian culture at the Otavalo Market.
Some people even stay in Otavalo for a few nights to explore the tranquil Ecuadorian pueblo beyond the Saturday market. This isn’t under the category of all inclusive holidays but definitely a great way to beat the hustle and bussle of Quito for a few days.
You’ve really stepped up your game in the video world. well done. Enjoyed every second of it. Morales has probably watched it 50 times today alone. Be well, hombre.
