Description:

From exotic birds to enticing spices—this guided walk through Otavalo covers the city’s brightest, boldest claims to fame. Marvel the magnificent Andes from the shores of San Pablo Lake, stop by a bird sanctuary for a bout of feathers, feast on local cuisine, and peruse a bustling craft market.

Bid farewell to Quito and kickoff your adventure with a scenic drive through the highland province of Imbabura. Pull over along the stunning San Pablo Lake, and hear of the region’s global appeal, while you admire the surrounding Ecuadorian Andes.

On the off chance you don’t spot any sky-bound birds—don’t fret. A stop at a renowned bird sanctuary houses and rehabilitates endangered predatory feathered flyers, including the majestic Andean Condor. Follow your guide on a nature walk, and keep an eye out for vultures, owls, and eagles. Then take in an incredible fight demonstration hawks and falcons search for prey on command.

Break for a delicious meal within a local restaurant, and feast over fusion cooking, before heading for Peguche Waterfall. Considered by residents as a revered, sacred site, this cascading torrent of water sits enveloped by lush greenery, and an ever-present, hazy mist.

From here, head to an indigenous craft market, and chat with vendors as they proudly display their wares. Comb through unique jewelry, hand-woven rugs, ornaments, textiles, and more—eager shoppers can select a few choice souvenirs to bring back too.
