Otavalo, Ecuador (Dec. 9-12, 2017)

---

Just a little town north of Quito. I'd read that Otavalo had great great indigenous art products and decided to make a stop there. It was a quaint little town. I stay at a quiet and near empty guesthouse. Surrounding towns had specialized handcrafts. I did a day trip to Cotacachi, which is known for their leather. I bought a light brown leather belt. It felt sturdy and thick. Not like any other leather belts I've had in my life. I believe I paid $10-$15 for it. It was a great purchase. One that I still have to this day.
