If you are interested in nature but also want to learn about the local culture of Ecuador, there is nothing better than the city of Otavalo where you will find the largest indigenous handicraft market in South America. The typical food is something that you cannot miss here, it is the perfect opportunity to try the guinea pig. In the afternoon we will take you to the Cuicocha lake, an impressive lagoon inside an inactive volcanic crater.
