We meet up with our guide Oz again early in the morning in Quito. From there we drove about two hours into the mountains to visit the Otovalo region. The first stop was to a place were they made figurines out of dough. After that we headed deeper into the mountain. We headed into the town and stopped at a great food and craft markets. It was an amazing experience and quite a sight to see.
After a great lunch we headed to a real shaman. She performed a ceremony on my dad, which was pretty unique to watch. It was something straight out of a National Geographic magazine. After she balances our energy with, herbs, scents, fire and alcohol we hit the road and went to a place were they made the famous weavings of Otovalo. The owner demonstrated how they made the different types of weavings. Then we headed back to Quito for dinner and a red eye back to the States.
