Otavalo, Ecuador - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

Otavalo's City Hall looks out stately over Plaza Bolivar, the civic centre of the largely indigenous city of Otavalo.

The town's population is approximately 50,000 and it is the capital of Otavalo State. Otavalo is world-famous for its indigenous population, the so-called Otavalos, many of which are travelling around the world to sell their famous handicrafts or play in Andean Folk music groups. The Otavalos are considered the economically most successful indigenous group of Latin America which explains this beautiful city hall and the accompanying plaza.

Otavalos are easily recognized by their traditional dress: white pants and a dark poncho for men; a dark skirt and a white blouse with colourful embroidery and colourful waisteband for women. Both sexes wear their hair long (the men usually platted).
