A Sunday Stroll in Cotacachi, Ecuador
The small leather craft village of Cotacachi, Ecuador, is 8,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, yet its location on the equator makes the weather there ideal all year-round. On a typical Sunday, Cotacachi is bustling with activity, and there is much to see and do.
We visit the main square-anchored, as in many Latin American communities-by the main church, Iglesia Matriz.
The bus station is always a hub of activity…it’s the way most of the farmers, shoppers, and traders from the outlying communities near Cotacachi get back and forth to market.
Speaking of markets, Sunday is market day in Cotacachi, and we take a look inside the mercado to see the fruits, vegetables, potatoes, beans, onions, and other produce on offer. This is a regular stop for locals and the expats who live in and around Cotacachi.
(The expat community in Cotacachi is strong and growing, with several hundred U.S., Canadian, and other expats calling Cotacachi home full- or part-time. They are an active community that volunteers in local schools, animal rescue organizations, food banks, soup kitchens, and many other community-service projects.)

Mi pregunta es Cara la vida en El Pueblo de Cotacachi ?🙏 Se Mira muibonito y tranquilo thanks you pretty town beautiful ❤️
very nice..
Actually u do get days like this, however not even most of the time. At around 10,000 feet it does get really cool and rainy. Nice town but bring a jacket, or better yet, buy a leather one down town.
Curious: How did you choose Cotacachi? I'm coming for 24 days to tour the country and see where I want to move to, but there are a lot of beautiful places to go, it's hard to decide! Is there a bus from Quito? Do you have a car? Are you there permanently?
Como es la temperatura ?
