If you’re dying for a look at a unique, local tradition and culture in Saraguro and want to be mainly an observer, your best bet is to visit on a Sunday. The small town is located more than 165 kilometres from Cuenca and is not the place to be touristy. There are few accommodations for tourists and the Sunday market is not open to tourists either. Except to view the traditional black and white garb of the Sararguro and eat at the one local restaurant, there’s no point in going such a long distance to visit this village when you can go elsewhere.
