Otavalo
The indigenous Otavalo people are famous for weaving textiles, usually made of wool, which are sold at the Saturday market called Plaza de los Ponchos. The shops sell textiles such as handmade blankets, tablecloths, and much more. The Otavalo market is made of mushroom-shaped concrete umbrellas with benches. The market dates back to the 1870s and is one of the largest outdoor markets in South America.
