Riobamba Tourist Information
Riobamba
Like Otavalo, Riobamba (pop. 148,000) is filled every Saturday with woolen blankets, pigs and produce. The market, frequented by Amerindians from the neighboring villages, sprawls through several town squares and streets. If you want a break from the bustle of the market, head to the Museum of Sacred Art (paintings, sculptures and jewelry), housed in the old Convent of the Sisters of the Conception. The city itself has some fine old buildings and pretty views of the surrounding peaks. It also makes a good base for visiting Chimborazo. The market starts early, so an overnight stay is recommended. 100 mi/165 km south of Quito.
