After breakfast at 09H00 your guide will pick you up at the hotel lobby, we will head north towards Otavalo, and we will make a stop at Cochasqui Pyramids. These pyramids were constructed between 950 CE. Their construction is attributed by archaeologists to the Quitu-Cara culture of the Cara people and/or the Caranqui people. The Cara and the Caranqui may have been the same people. Prior to the Inca conquest in the late 15th century. Here you do an initial trek, with chances to feed lamas, and learn about the people used to live in the area.

After a delicious lunch, we continue the trip and have the opportunity to enjoy and learn about the Indigenous Culture and then we will visit the village of Peguche, located just outside of Otavalo. There once was a time when the village was bustling with traffic and visitors, as a railway line used to run through the village; but now, as the lines have been unused since the 1980s, tranquility has blanketed Peguche. Our second trek will take to the waterfall and viewpoints of the area.

Even though it is not as busy as it used to be, there is still more than enough reasons to visit this picturesque location and its friendly locals, who make a living out of agriculture, as well as weaving. Over and above the residents of Peguche boasting great weaving and farming skills, they are also known to be talented musicians. While visiting the village a host of traditional and cultural features and rites can be experienced. Before sunset let’s head to your hotel having acclimatized during our visits today at over 3000 MASL.
