Otavalo Market, San Pablo Lake, & Waterfall｜Ecuador

Discover the magic of Otavalo, one of the largest craft markets in South America, surrounded by incredible natural landscapes. The tour includes a boat ride on the enigmatic San Pablo Lake and a hike to Peguche Waterfall, a ceremonial site for the indigenous people of the area. The perfect place for a day tour just 2.5 hours from Quito.

The Otavalo Market is known for its handcrafted products, made by local artisans and master craftsmen. You can find everything from intricate ceramics to musical instruments made from wood from the nearby cloud forest and various textiles and clothing.

Peguche Waterfall is a stunning 18-meter-high waterfall and it’s super-close to Otavalo and the famous markets. It's a real fun (but easy!) adventure to get there and requires some gentle walking along the river that the waterfall flows into.

Lake San Pablo is the largest natural lake in Ecuador. It has an area of 583 hectares and a maximum depth of 35.2 m; its water volume is estimated at 140,106 m3.
