We spent our last week and a half in Ecuador staying in the small Andean village of Pucara, about 20 minutes outside of Otavalo.
When making the reservation for a little casitia on www.airbnb.com I was hesitant about booking nine nights. What would we do there for that long? Most tourists simply visit Otavalo’s Saturday Craft Market and move on. Would the kids be bord? The other option of splitting the nine nights between two destination just seemed to be asking for "travel burnout”. So I clicked the "book it” button and hoped we would simply get into the flow of the area once we were there.
Our Casita for 9 nights.
