Undeniably, the Otavalo Market, renowned for its vibrant plaza de ponchos, stands as a key and highly visited indigenous market in both Ecuador and South America. Otavalo is dwelling to a significant Otavalos indigenous community, with Kichwa being their primary language. The Otavalo Market is a hub of indigenous gastronomy and numerous stalls where Otavaleños exhibit their artisanal goods, such as textiles, ponchos, blouses, shirts, hats, alpargatas, and handmade alpaca tapestries. Though the Otavalo market or Otavalo fair bustles fully on Saturdays, a reduced number of sellers can also be found throughout the rest of the week.
