Overview of your Quito tour:

Most famous of the indian markets in South America, and the reason is its people. Otavaleños are well-known all over the world for their crafts, culture and music. We go beyond their market to discover their fascinating traditions. Use my Nikon binoculars to get up close to beautiful scenery and wildlife. We can tour a rose farm, difficult to gain entrance but I can, that produces 40, 000 per day for export as well as a beautifully done, large (think eagles and condors) bird sanctuary where, weather permitting, you can watch them released to fly out of sight over gorgeous mountain scenery and, amazingly, return. We will also shop the large indian market, visit a weaving cottage, a musical instrument making cottage and a neighboring town famous for its leather. Very interesting, beautiful, day trip.
