Este paseo nos permitió conocer lugares en y cerca de Otavalo que nunca los hubieramos encontrado por nuestra cuenta, además de estar muy cómodas en un vehículo privado. El guía sensacional! Muchas gracias!

Creímos que viajar en un Tour compartido era una buena idea, pero finalmemte nos decidimos por viajar en este tour privado, y fue la mejor elección! La pasamos increíble y nos tomamos el tiempo que queríamos en cada lugar. El guía nos esperó pacientemente y siempre estuvo feliz de ayudarnos con recomendaciones Valderas.
Recomiendo mucho viajar a Otavalo en el confort de este tour privado.

My wife and I had an incredible private tour with our tour guide and driver Ximena! We embarked our comfortable car at 8 am from our hotel and started our journey to Otavalo. We stopped at different areas and viewpoints, we had pictures with the famous Alpaca, we admired the countryside and also stopped at a national park and checked the little handicraft shops. We also stopped in another city and looked for leather products. Later, we went to a small workshop, where the owners showe ld us how they create all these amazing Ecuadorian artifacts in the most traditional way! That was probably the highlight of our tour! We ended up buying some of the amazing products there! Later, we went to the Otavalo Market, where slew wondered around the shops, and Ximena was helping us with the translation and negotiations! Finally, we sat at a traditional Ecuadorian restaurant where we enjoyed our delicious food! This has been a wonderful way to explore the traditions of the indigenous people in Ecuador, their amazing handicrafts and the beautiful landscapes! We would also like to thank again Ximena for her amazing company, her stories and for extending the tour for more than two hours! Great person and professional!!
