Otavalo Ecuador Market

Otavalo is famous for having the one of the largest markets in South America. I went there to see the market and I intentionally went there during a weekday so that I wouldn’t have to deal with what I thought would be a huge crowd. I was right. There was no huge crowd. The market only comprised the central square. There weren’t a lot of buyers. I had been told that the market branches out on weekends to encompass the side streets for blocks and blocks and blocks. That isn’t the case during the week. I didn’t go to buy, I just went to see the town and get a feel for the market. If you want the full impact of the Otavalo Market, you need to go on Saturday.
