Otavalo Market, Cotacachi and Peguche Waterfall Private Tour

On our drive to Otavalo Elizabeth shared with us may interesting facts about her country and what we saw on the way. She gave us some pointers about negotiating with the vendors at the market. This part of the trip is not done with the guide. We had a little over an hour to explore the market. The restaurant we ate at in Cotopachi was good and we were given more time to shop for anything and everything leather. If you are looking for leather purse, handbag, jacket or shoes this is definitely worth the stop.

Our family greatly enjoyed our time with Elizabeth, seeing the bustling Otavalo market(go on a Saturday), a nearby area focused on leather, and a nice short hike to a waterfall. She was very patient, encouraging our family to enjoy a small zip line at the park containing the waterfall at the end of the long day. Highly recommend Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was fabulous, she brought out to Otavalo, where we were joined by an indigenous lady who shared her traditions with us and answered our questions. On the way out of town we stopped at a waterfall outside on the way to see a traditional weaver, where we were able to see indigenous weddings! We finished our day in the "leather town". We were able to comfortably leave bags in cars and she had great English and answers to all our questions!

Elizabeth is the best! Her demeanor is kind and friendly. As important, her knowledge and love for her country is exceptional. I would work with Elizabeth again -- any time, any day! She is a wonderful tour guide.

We had the most incredible day with Elizabeth and truly cannot recommend her enough. This experience showed us a side of Ecuador that you simply wouldn't see on a typical tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. She curated such a thoughtful, authentic day that felt truly a once-in-a-lifetime, and we're so thankful for the experience she gave us and for all the wonderful people she introduced us to along the way. It deepened our appreciation for Ecuador in a way we'll never forget. We hope our paths cross again someday!

We had a wonderful day with Elizabeth on our tour of Otavalo Market, Cotacachi and Peguche. She was super knowledgeable, professional and fun- we had such a great time! Highly recommend her for any tour in Quito and will absolutely reach out to her again the next time I am back in Ecuador!
