Shopping at Quito

Ecuador is a shoppers’ delight. A cultural experience in itself, the country has so many feasts for the eyes. Make sure that you carry an extra bag to fulfill your shopping desires. Stroll along the Avenida Amazonas is a good way to catch specialties of the country. You can find a number of shops along the avenue offering of different handicraft works that mainly include carved items, sweaters, ponchos, ceramics, rugs, scarves, textiles and gourds etc. Bird lovers can get so many different varieties and colors of painted birds from the Amazon region, special crafted statues from highland villages and special hats to make you look really appealing.

You will find goods of higher quality hence be prepared to pay a bit higher as everything is hand crafted and prepared by putting a lot of efforts. You can also buy tapestries, shawls, wool, leather and others garments and specialties from different region of Ecuador.
