Cotacachi is a small town in northern Ecuador with around 9,000 inhabitants.
It is a peaceful and cute town with lovely colorful houses.
Even if the city lives mainly from agriculture, Cotacachi is also renowned for its leather craftsmanship and there are a large number of shops with a bit of everything for all tastes and budgets.
In the main square, a pretty church that deserves our attention.
Iglesia Matriz has a red altar with gilding which contrasts with its white walls and captivates the attention.
There are a lot of natives, but also a lot of expatriates who have chosen to live in Cotacachi which makes the restaurants and cafes very welcoming and full of flavor.
The nice big streets allow us to see the landscapes which surrounds the city.
The fact that the city is located in a valley and is surrounded by the volcanoes of Imbabura, Cotacachi and Pichincha gives it an undeniable charm and a perfect climate for relaxation.
Even if they are asleep, to be surrounded by so many volcanoes has a magical and disturbing effect at the same time.
The fresh air and the good food make us forget many worries and a beautiful walk around the village allows us to recharge our batteries quickly.
