October 5, 2017 – Arriving at La Mirage Garden Hotel and Spa in Cotacachi
We just arrived from Quito and had our first lunch at La Mirage Garden Hotel and Spa near Cotacachi where we will spend the next 3 days.
We had an amazing lunch and after a short rest, we went to Cotacachi for some shopping. A city famous for its leather market.
