Hotels in Imbabura, Ecuador
Imbabura is a province in Ecuador's northern Andes, famous for its volcanic peaks like Cotacachi and the colorful Otavalo indigenous market. The climate is mild year-round (60-70°F / 15-21°C), with dry summers from June to September perfect for hiking around Lago Cuicocha's crater lake, and wetter winters from October to May when you can bargain for handwoven textiles at Otavalo's Saturday market without the crowds. Head to the Cuicocha viewpoint for a clear look at the island in the lake, or take a kayak tour there during the dry season.
