Country Tours from Quito: La Mirage Spa with Otavalo Market |
|
|
Pamper your body with luxurious spa treatment surrounded by the grandeur of a hacienda.
| Overview | |
|
Experience bliss as you submit to a range of spa treatments designed to pamper your body and leave you with an ultimate sense of well being at the Spa La Mirage, located in the town of Cotacachi in the Northern Highlands. Set in the elegance and grandeur of a 200 year-old colonial hacienda (Spanish estate), Spa La Mirage offers a range of 17 treatments like reflexology, aromatherapy and a herbal bath wrap. Luxuriant gardens with a profusion of flowers and stunning views of the Andean Cordillera will only add to this magical experience and sense of complete relaxation. La Mirage is only a short drive from Otavalo, famous for its large, colourful and bustling Saturday Indian Market, the biggest in South America. This colourful and typical Indian market dates back to the pre-Inca times and is known for its textiles woven on back-strap and shuttle looms. It is great for those wishing to collect some true-blue Andean souvenirs, like ponchos, hand made textiles, hats, Indian jewellery, and various handicrafts.
