Museo Otavalango

The Living Otavalo Museum was created in 2011 to preserve the culture of the indigenous Otavalenos. The museum is situated in what used to be a Spanish Hacienda in 1821. In 1958, the building was founded as the textile factory of San Pedro, where many indigenous people were forced to work in conditions similar to slavery. The historic architecture is preserved today in the museum. Currently, the Living Museum exhibits indigenous customs, live demonstrations of traditional weaving with the back strap, and the architecture that still exists from 1820.

This living museum is amazing and everyone in our group left wanting to recommend this experience to others. It is a must do while in Otavalo! Our tour guide and the president of the museum Renee met us with the best energy, smile, and rich history. Hearing him tell the history of this living museum project was an amazing experience. I learned so much during our tour and left feeling like the story of this group needs to be heard worldwide. It is a story of perseverance, family, and overcoming many hardships. It was amazing to see the traditions of this group brought to life with Renee as our guide. 100% recommend! Tours are in Spanish, but if you need English just call ahead and they will arrange a translator to be there. Please support this project while learning this rich, important history from this amazing group!

Estacion Tren de la Libertad - Ibarra

Reviewed By ATL_Jacket - Eugene, United States

The train excursion from Ibarra to Salinas is an amazing experience. You travel through an amazing canyon, across bridges, and through tunnels. The Ibarra station is a nice stop, a place to buy drinks and snacks on the way. Ibarra is a bit rougher than Otavalo, but it's fine walking around the station. I strongly recommend the train ride to anyone visiting the region!
