Description: In the afternoon we will travel to an indigenous community where your host family welcomes you to your guest room (private bathroom, hot water) and invites you to participate in their daily activities (there is no set schedule or plan of activities, the idea is to see and learn about the everyday life within the family/community). Later you will enjoy dinner made of fresh ingredients from the organic house garden together with your host family. After a good night’s sleep and a delicious breakfast you will have some time for a morning activity before your return.
Difficulty: easy
Total Duration: 2days/1night (or more)

– next morning – breakfast with host family, free time for activities, pick-up and return to Otavalo at agreed time depending on onward travel plans

*Please bear in mind that the family homestay tour does not follow a fixed schedule or program. Activities with your host family strongly depend on your interests, season, day of week, weather, etc. The whole idea of the homestay is to enable visitors an authentic insight into everyday life of indigenous families, and not give them a folkloric show.
