Otavalo & Cotacachi Properties
Cotacachi and Otavalo are both small towns located about 2 hours north of Ecuador´s capital city, Quito. Cotacachi is nestled between two volcanoes. Situated in beautiful landscapes it is only a 30 minute drive from Lago San Pablo, Ecuador´s largest lake. The town is located adjacent to the Cayapas Ecological Reserve, with over 750,000 protected acres of forest. Cotacachi itself is home to numerous leather artisans, where you can find dozens of stores selling fine leather jackets, belts, shoes, and more along its main street 10 de Agosto. Since 2007, when International Living began promoting this village, a sizable expat community has begun to arrive, attracted to its beautiful Andean views and low cost of living.
Unlike Cotacachi, where the expat culture is well defined, Otavalo is home to a rich indigenous culture. With 90,000 inhabitants, it is much larger than its neighbor Cotacachi. On Saturdays, the massive market overflows from the Plaza de Ponchos and colorful textiles and crafts fill tents along streets in a third of the city. Otavaleños are famous for their weavings, everything from blankets and bags to sweaters and gloves. They are easily recognized by their traditional dress, white pants and dark ponchos for men, and brightly colored dresses for women.
While most residents or make the trip to Ibarra or Quito for all but the most common doctor´s visits, for many, the slow pace of life these two Andean towns offer has been just what the doctor ordered.

From the street, this house looks just like all the others on the street with the exception of its color. Little does one know what to expect upon stepping up to the beautiful wooden door. Enter into a large open-concept space which is the living/dining area. Here towards the back you have a large kitchen with a tremendous amount of countertop & workspace. A nice amount of local wooden cabinetry including custom cupboard provide ample storage. Appliance included in the sale are the refrigerator, the cook top stove and the oven. .

Past the courtyard a door opens up to a hallway of brick and an enormous full bathroom / laundry room immediately on the right. Keep going down the hall to find yet another surprise: an indoor pool. Larger than a jacuzzi, this custom pool is designed to heat up with propane tanks: a truly unique feature. . Exit out past the pool into the secret garden area filled with thoughtfully organized winding paths offering nooks and crannies covered with flowers, shrubbery and trees which provide shade, privacy, and peaceful moments. A strategically placed firepit and multiple mature fruit trees can also be found here. . It is a hard property to envision without seeing for yourself as the photos just do not do it justice.
