From Plaza de Santo Domingo, walk along Rocafuerte in the north-westernly direction for about 3 or 4 blocks and turn left.
Here is the indigenous market area where all sort of exotic herbs, barks, leaves, seeds… are sold to be used as whatever form of medication used by the indigenous people.
We even passed a shop where shamans dispense treatments for Mal Aire (Bad Air), Ojeada (the Evil Eye), or Baño para la Suerte (Lucky Bath), etc…
Try these local treatments, if you are game for it. *gulp* Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Around junction where Calle Rocafuerte meets Calle Cuenca

The shop is also the "factory" of Alberto. A small factory, but great products, mainly in Tagua (this white vegetal ivory), or also in colourful grains... You may ask him whatever you want to be built in Tagua, he will do it for you !
Cette petite boutique est aussi l'"usine" d'Alberto. Une petite usine, certes, mais avec un gros debit de produits de Tagua, ce fruit blanc dur comme de l'ivoire, ou des colliers a base de graines multicolores... Vous pouvez aussi lui demander de vous confectionner vos fantaisies, il se fera un plaisir de le faire !
Tagua products !
Des trucs en tagua !!
Between 0.5 and 12 USD.

Alonzo cooks, Maria sells. They are both crazy, Alonzo always kidding you, with his tiny voice, and Maria always smiling and asking you "Que mas ?" (what more ?) each time you pick up something to buy... The store is a mess, the restaurant is a mess also, but they have all you may want to eat quickly (or to prepare the best typical meal in your own kitchen)... And they're so kind !!
Alonzo cuisine, Maria vend. Ils sont tous les deux un peu fous, entre Alonzo qui vous fait des blagues, avec sa toute petite voix, et Maria qui vous sourit toujours en vous demandant "Que mas ?" (quoi d'autre ?) a chaque fois que vous prenez quelque chose a acheter... La boutique est en bordel, le resto aussi, mais ils ont tout le necessaire pour manger rapidement ou pour vous preparer le plus typique des plats equatoriens dans votre propre cuisine.. Et ils sont tellement gentils !
Chicken on the barbecue (a fan evacuates the smoke), vegetables, yoghurts, bread (so gooood !), french fries, rice, drinks... Whatever you want !!
Poulet au barbecue (un ventilo se charge d'evacuer la fumee), legumes, yaourts, pain (il est troooop bon !), frites, riz, boissons...
Ce que vous voulez !
It's cheap !!
C'est pas cher !! Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Avenida Colombia 12-16, Barrio El DoradoDirections: Close to the Auberge Inn. They even can take the motorcycle and bring you whatever you ask ! Pres de l'Auberge Inn. Ils peuvent meme livrer a domicile !

This is a less touristy market compered to Otavalo. It's more of a food and merchandise market for the local people but it still has a "tourist corner". Most fun is "people watching".
Local craft, fruits.
Bargain on everything. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft
