Properties in Otavalo & Cotacachi
Enclosed By Nature
The population in this town is of about 8,000, different from the 2-hour away city of Quito. Catachachi settles in the middle of two volcanoes. Surrounded by beautiful landscape it is a short drive of 30 minutes from Lago San Pablo, Ecuador’s largest lake. Travel to the Cayapas Ecological reserve, which has over 750,000 protected acres of forest, to see all forms of landscapes. Avenida 10 de Agosto is famous for its numerous leather artisans; there you can find dozens of stores selling fine leather jackets, belts, shoes, and more. The low cost living and the attractive Andean views are bringing more and more expats to this community.
Preserved & Vivid Traditions
Cotacachi is where the expat culture is well defined now a day, but Otavalo is home to a rich indigenous culture. Otavalo is much larger than Cotacachi with 90,000 inhabitants. On Saturdays, there is a large market that overflows from the Plaza de Ponchos; it fills the streets along in a third of the city with colorful textiles and crafts. The people from Otavalo are famous for their crafty weavings, everything from blankets, bags, sweaters, gloves, and more. One can recognize Otavaleños by their traditional dress, white pants, and dark ponchos for men, and bright color dresses for women.
Perfect Stress Reliever
Many go to Ibarra or Quito for their doctor’s visits, but for some the slow pace and Andean towns are perfect for reliving stress and getting away from the stress of the big city.
