Pujilí
A pottery town west of Latacunga, known for its elaborate headdresses worn by the “Danzante” dancers during Corpus Christi, with a market on Sunday.
Pujilí is famous for handmade pottery and the Danzante (Dancers) festival. During the festival, dancers wear tall headdresses decorated with mirrors, feathers and coins and dance through the streets. There are markets on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. The town lies along the road to Zumbahua and Quilotoa, about 10 kilometers from Latacunga, and is an easy stop on the way. There is a statue of a Danzante dancer at the town entrance.
