Ecuador
Otavalo. The world-renowned saturday market, the biggest of the country. For centuries the Indians from over 70 surrounding villages have brought their crafts and produce here for exchange. Today although much of the business is still between indigenas the main part of the market is devoted to the tourists coming from every country. The Otavalenos, traditionally weavers since pre-colonial times, have been able to set up their own business and now are one of the most prosperous indigenous groups in South America.
