When you’re in Ecuador, there’s no doubt you’ll be searching for the best and most unique hand-crafted souvenirs to bring home with you. If you’re into searching for those items, the best place for you to go is Chordeleg, a small town just 5 kilometres south of Gualaceo—this strip of road is perfect for a complete day hike from town to town. Chordeleg is known throughout Ecuador for its fine jewelry. You can also pick up wood carvings, pottery, textiles, Panama hats and embroidered clothing. There are no real accommodations or restaurants so make it a day trip.
