Saquisilí
8.3
Lower score (below 6)
Saquisilí's Thursday indigenous market is genuinely one of the largest in Ecuador, with separate plazas for livestock, produce, textiles, and crafts drawing traders from across the Andes. Outside of Thursday mornings the town barely functions for visitors — most businesses close and the streets empty. The permanent population is almost entirely indigenous Kichwa community and the social fabric is not accessible to outsiders in any meaningful way. Arrive Thursday at dawn, buy something, leave before noon.
