This was an excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide. We truly enjoyed the trip to Otavalo to see the market and bought a few souvenirs. For us the best part of the trip was the visit to the weavers where she showed us how the thread is spun and died. Then we got to see how material with designs are made using three different looms. My wife studies textiles and it was a thrill for her. We also appreciated that we were able to skip the tourist attractions that we weren't interested in.
