The city of Otavalo is known for its myriad markets that fill it with life and movement. After checking out the incredibly dynamic Animal Market and losing yourself in the sea of crafts at the Plaza de Los Ponchos craft market, why not dive in even further? Ecuador's rich culinary culture invites you to get up close and personal with the hundreds of ingredients and products that form the basis for some of its most traditional dishes right here at the Vegetable Market. Take a shot at bartering with the vendors to get the best price on some of Ecuador's top fruits and favorite vegetables. Be sure to sample some exotic fruits, such as passion fruit, the capulí (Andean cherry), or tree tomato.
