OTAVALO MARKET (the best day trip from Quito)

We spent the entire weekend in Otavalo shopping at Ecuador's most famous indigenous market. On Saturdays, the market ranges from the city center to the outskirts with ponchos, quilts, fruits and much more! It's colorful, loud and filled with excitement to browse the local stands. Nikki decided to try out her haggling skills by buying a shawl! Let us know if she got a good deal? We finished up with some of Otavalo's amazing nature by visiting Parque Condor! Here, we saw some of the most amazing birds from South America and around the world! Would you take a day trip from Otavalo from Ecuador?

    Another thumbs up for this vlog. That really is a very big market and lots nice typical local clothes. Enjoyed seeing you trying to get a good bargain. My wife is very good at it. Yesterday we needed something for our IPad. Starting price 88, she got it down to 30. Airpod from 116 to 60. Local currency, not original but still good quality. So that is why I let her take care of the finances haha. Next time you know how to bargain, as long as you keep smiling and stay friendly. Always start with 70% less. I hope next time a longer video. Take care and have fun.

    Guatita is tripe stew. The sauce is peanut based, and you can add chunks of potatoes and carrots to the medley. We eat it with white rice and lettuce. One of my favorite dishes growing up. So glad you visited Otavalo, my ancestral home!

    lowballing too much would cause sellers to give up, they probably didn’t make a penny, handmade organic material for $13 way too cheap, you would pay a minimum of $200 if not more here in the states. We got to help other countries too if we can.

    im told ppl that dont negotiate are considered idiots by Ecuadorians. There is a video of then President of Ecuador a few years back going to this market negotiating for the best price. I was a documentary on Ecuador hosted by the President. Its the nature of the beast in this market
