Amelia And JP VLOG 269: A trip to Cotacachi wouldn't be complete without a visit to Plaza de Ponchos, the world famous indigenous market in Otavalo, Ecuador!
Map: g.page/plaza-de-ponchos?share
We took a $6 cab ride from Cotacachi to the market on a Tuesday. The best day of the week to visit is on Saturday when they close off the streets and the market explodes to several times its normal size.
Unfortunately, Saturday was the only day we could film a real estate tour so we couldn't go to the market that day. Besides, we try to avoid large crowds when we're filming for a variety of reasons.
When you visit Plaza de Ponchos, be sure to tell Emelia that you saw her on our video!
You're not alone! We've assembled a supportive community with HUNDREDS of current and future expats who are eager to share their experiences, answer questions and provide guidance to help take the mystery out of your move. Join Us Today! / ameliaandjp

I'm going back home in December--after two years since my last visit. Otavalo is one of my mandatory stops. The last time I was there, I got this alpaca blanket, and it is the most comfortable cover to use on the couch during cold afternoons here in Seattle. I'm going back for at least two more this time! Thanks for helping me rediscover my country. I left 20 years ago when I was too young to appreciate it. You are changing that.

Thank you once again for such a wonderful video. This one also brought tears to my eyes, we lived in Otavalo for 3 1/2 years. It was Great seeing the market open once again. The pandemic shut it down completely. I often wondered and worried about the people that worked in the markets of how they were making a living.

Hi, the first thing I noticed was your new white shirt, JP! The fruit market looked amazing. Those papayas! I noticed your community post about less views on a recent video. I really enjoyed that one. For me, a variety of content is nice and that one in particular was relaxing and peaceful, plus I think your content will naturally change as time passes. I may not end up in Ecuador as I don't have the funds required for a residency visa but I've found your channel very informative and inspiring just the same. Thank you!

I liked the video very much. The next time that you visit Otavalo, you have to visit Hacienda Cusin. A tourist from the U.S. said that the gardens looked like a slice of heaven. Make sure that you are shown the gardens behind the hacienda too. Also, one can film the western slope of Volcano Imbabura and one will be able to see the Heart of Imbabura. Another hacienda that would be interesting is Hacienda Pinsaqui. It has been in the family for over 300 years. Also check out the large, Lago de San Pablo.and eat lunch at the restaurant, Puerto Lago. The tour of the Indigenous Market at Otavalo was a home run!

I like your videos to see the real time Ecuador with real time prices and availability of basically everything. Thanks again for respecting and loving our little paradise. Maybe I'll run into you two in my travels. Take care

Hi guys! Bonnie here. We really like Otavalo too. That mercado is the BEST! As always, you need to watch yourself carefully because of pickpockets, but no problem if you’re aware. I recognize the lady showing you the Llama blanket!! I bought a blanket from her a couple years ago! Its great to see the place again. I hope that our favorite coffee shop it still there… right across the street from the mercado, up some stairs.

I was laughing when you mentioned 0 rain coats. I used to live in Guayaquil and never bother to blow dry my hair since they were dry by the time I got dress. One day we went to Quito , I packed my things as I was using home, in Quito, I took a shower and started to get ready as usual but my hair were still wet - different temperature and I was worried not to get sick . hahahahaha.

Great shirt JP! When you get the size that fits, you should also get some guayaberas. These are found all over Latin America, usually with warmer weather near the Caribbean or places with similar weather like Guayaquil. My family is Cuban and it's very common or traditional there to wear one. There are also many factories in the Yucatan in Mexico where they make them with a lot of customizations, or even made to order like the "Panama" Hats you guys featured not too long ago.
