Look for a sacred place with beautifully landscaped hiking trails. At the top you can crawl through narrow caves and discover other smaller waterfalls. Entrance fees are required.

Behind the figures at the parking lot there is a sales area of the local indigenous people, where you can also have a drink.

These are new sculptures that probably belong to the local soccer field and playground across the street. A bench invites you to rest.

There are changing rooms here too.

El Lechero is a viewpoint whose tree at the top of the hill is considered sacred. Although unknown to many people, this tranquil spot offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. Located in Otavalo, Ecuador near Condor Park. El Lechero, Otavalo's sacred tree, is part of local mythology and is believed to house the soul of a cursed lover who fell in love with a boy from a rival family. And then it was transformed into nearby Lake San Pablo. From the El Lechero viewpoint you can see Lake San Pablo, the Fuya Fuya Mountains, the Cotacachi Volcanoes, Imbabura and a great view of the city of Otavalo. The place where the tree stands is considered a sacred place with healing powers by local people. There are indigenous Otavaleños who perform many purification rituals and spiritual ceremonies. El Lechero is a place open to the public, where you can not only take beautiful photos, but also have picnics. To get there, you'll have to walk a steep 5km or so from Otavalo or hire a taxi for around $4 each way. There is no transport at the top. Ask the driver to wait if he doesn't want to go back.
