“GREAT OWNER. COMFY BEDS. CANT BEAT THE PRICE!!”

We stayed at Hostal Chasqui for five nights. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have slept in which says a lot considering we have been traveling for three months and have stayed in many different hostels. We paid $9 per person. Private bedroom with private bathroom included. Laundry is free. Kitchen for you to cook in. Hot water. Towels included.

The best part about the stay was the owner, Roberto. He goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable not only in his hostel but in Otavalo. We had an incident with our camera and he offered to come with us to, the shop, to help communicate/translate on our behalf. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Roberto was the highlight with his generous nature, and willingness to help in any way. Hostel was nice, clean, quiet, and had everything we needed, including full kitchen with a view of Otavalo. The best hostel we visited in Ecuador. Thanks Roberto!

The journey was only two hours over some twisty mountain roads and we soon arrived into Otavalo at around 3pm.We got some directions from a taxi driver, loaded up and walked the few blocks to the hostel. Once we'd checked in, we had a wander to the supermarket, which wasn't so super but we ended up with all we needed by …

Two hours north of Quito, Otavalo is an enchanting small town that we visted to experience, in particular, its Saturday handicraft market, the largest in South America. The market was a huge colouful collage of beautiful woven fabrics, painted wood work, jewellery, ceramics - Ryan was very patient with me!

Had brekkie downtown - again very tasty. We then ventured off to Compania de Jesus church which had, wait for it... 7 tons of gold leaf! This place was amazing. Not only was it beautiful and the architecture amazing, but there was gold everywhere. It was awesome! Next stop was the bus station where we prepared for our first long distance Latin …

The biggest of all being the Saturday market. However because it also has a reputation for being horribly tourist focused, full of gringos and selling less 'real&# …
