The Otavalo market in Imbabura Ecuador is world famous, but don't leave without traditional Ecuadorian food like catzos, churos and the best hornado in Ecuador.
The Imbabura Province just outside Quito Ecuador is home to the most famous markets in Ecuador - Otavalo. Most people only come on Saturday, shop the artisanal market and leave.
But there's more than just the fabulous market. In fact I spent most of it in the food market! In the video we share with you
Catzos: white beetles
Churos: snails
Jugo de Sabila: Aloe juice
Chaulafán Otavaleño: epic Ecuadorian rice and noodle dish
Hornado with morcilla: epic roasted pork with sausage and llapingachos (potato cakes), mote (hominy) and encurtido .

Need an English speaking guide in Ecuador? I hired my friend Andres to tour the country, he's got an SUV and is a licensed national guide. The best way to reach him is on Whatapp: +593 98 711 9550 and second best by email at andrivet77 AT gmail.com.
His family also owns a series of small hotels in Cuenca called La Casa Cuencana and you can book directly with him.

Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.

My friend and I are going to Otavalo eventually and hope my husband comes too. Otavalo has been a place I have wanted to see for a long time and seeing some of what you had to experience makes the journey look like about a 3 nighter. So many places I want to go to.
@ayngelina
@ayngelina 2 года назад
You could do Cotacachi and Otavalo, they are not far and for me had the most difficult to find food. Otavalo is pretty cheap for accommodation. We stayed in a hotel for $20/night. The place is packed on Saturdays but then really clears out so you can do the market and check out the area without it being so chaotic.

Nice and pleasant. Cheers!

Ayngelina ... You were right! I bought a bag of frozen wild caught Pacific Cod. I thawed it correctly, blotted it with paper towel. Then I breaded it with just flour, salt, and black pepper. I fried the pieces of cod in a large cast iron skillet and they turned out fantastic! Fresh and sweet right out of the Northern Ocean.

They are raw but snails have pretty much the same consistency either way. And the taste was light and bright with the lime. That said, a bit more of a pain to eat. I preferred the beetles, which were crunchy and easy to eat, almost like cheesies.

We haven't yet had the pleasure of going to Otavalo, however your virtual experience was well done, and warmly received. Kudos to you and Andrés both for being brave enough to try the critters. Speaking of Andrés, does he typically advise folks on his tours to comfortably consume ají without any concern of illness? I think you mentioned some of them being acid or vinegar based. I imagine these would be less bacterial breeding grounds. We've only been sick once in our travels, and know exactly what it was. It wasn't ají, however since it's typically open and on tables to share, we didn't want to chance it. We will return to Ecuador, and we'd like to feel more confident about our ability to enjoy the aji. Do you and Andrés have any tips for Ají Safety in Ecuador?
@ayngelina
@ayngelina 2 года назад
So a lot of tour guides take people to "safer" places that are tourist friendly but to be honest I find they are the worst spots. I just asked him about aji (we're in Quilotoa shooting a video) and he said if you can trust a restaurant to eat in it then you know their aji is also good because if a restaurant is full of Ecuadorians it also must have good aji. This is why we mostly go to huecas, we know that they are busy and the turnover of food ...and aji...is daily. And it's a big reason why I don't get sick.

They are from the mountains overlooking Otavalo. Honestly Jayne of all the crazy things I have eaten in my life these were EASY. They taste garlick-y and are crisp. If you didn't look at them you'd think they were a cheesy like thing and you'd love them. I'd absolutely recommend them. The churos require a bit more effort and so I'd wait on that one.
