Depart from Quito through the Pan-American North Highway via Cayambe. Brief stop at Guachalá, (old equatorial monument). Passengers will have the opportunity to taste the delicious “Bizcochos de Cayambeâ€, a type of cracker or bread baked in a clay oven (greatly paired with local cheese or caramel sauce). Afterwards, we will make a brief stop at “Miralagoâ€, to admire a wonderful view of Lago San Pablo, amazing views. The tour then continues to Otavalo where Otavaleños (natives) set up a market in which a bartering manner of shopping is taken place. The market hosts a variety of different handcrafted items.
