Otavalenos

The indigineous women of Otavalo dress in a distinct style. They wear their long hair parted in the middle and wrapped with a faja.

Even the very young girls, wear the same traditional skirt and blouse as their mother. The white bundle is a baby.

The ladies wear multistrand faux gold necklaces around their necks and orange beaded bracelets.

They were beautiful and friendly.
