Otovalo/Cotacachi impressions

I'll ask Mary to comment, but I was pleasantly surprised by Otovalo and delighted by Cotacachi.

Cotacachi is a small town located on the slopes of one extinct volcano and across a beautiful valley (Otovalo's) from another. You can walk from one edge of town to the other in less than 15 minutes. In the middle is a delightful plaza, good for people-watching.

Otovalo is much larger and diverse, and very walkable. It is the hub of activity in this very beautiful part of the world. We've already spotted (in our guidebook) many things we want to do, see and experience on our next trip to Ecuador.
I hope to take some photos of the Otovalo market this afternoon, and get them on the blog.
