A day of music, family and culture 1 Day | On our one day version, we will enjoy the folkloric market in the morning. After that we will arrive to our host family where we will have a full afternoon of eating, dancing and sharing.
Otavalean culture is one of the most influential and traditional in our country. In this tour, we will experience a full day with an authentic local family. Our hosts will receive us in their home and we will share with them a delicious typical lunch prepared by our hostess. Sitting in a terrace, between the Cotacachi and the Imbabura, other family members will play some folkloric music while an authentic shaman will prepare a demonstration in which we can appreciate the mysticism of this ancestral ritual.
We couldn’t leave out the famous folkloric market, which we will visit on the first hours of the morning.
