We visited Ecuador in November, 2019.
Otavalo has a population of around 39,000, mostly indigenous Otavalo, and lies at an elevation of 8300'. The indigenous people are famous for weaving textiles, mostly wool. Women tradtionally wear white embroidered blouses with flared lace sleeves and black or dark overskirts with cream or white underskirts. Men wear white trousers and dark blue ponchos. The handicraft market of Otavalo features products made by these indigenous people.
