A Proud Heritage: Otavalo is the birthplace of the Otavalo Kichwa people, celebrated worldwide for their exceptional textile craftsmanship and distinctive approach to commerce. At the heart of this vibrant city lies the renowned 'Plaza de Ponchos,' South America's largest indigenous craft market. At Cielo Verde, we are passionate about showcasing the cultural richness of Otavalo to our visitors. A Glimpse into History: The origins of Otavalo can be traced back to the 16th century when it stood as one of the colonial era's most significant cities. Despite the later designation of Ibarra as the provincial capital, Otavalo maintained its prominence as an administrative, economic, financial, and commercial center within Imbabura. Today, we celebrate this historical significance as we guide you through the city's vibrant streets.
