Travel Recommendation
Handicraft market in the Mariscal area, Quito
Ecuador
My Recommendation Tip
Every Saturday, there is a handicraft market in the Plaza Foch from 10h30 to 21h00. Here you can find a variety of urban, traditional, alternative or ecological works made in Ecuador. What makes this market attractive is that the craftsman themselves sell their products, that is why the prices are reasonable compared to the typical souvenir shops where you find the same products at 2 to 4 times higher prices. Those items found here are so unique that I can say that it is a ideal place to get something really attractive for your family and friends waiting for you back in your country. There are really cool stuff, highly recommended =)
Here you can find some more information, see the albums they have:
