My suggestion

Visit during the Inti Raymi festival season. This will give you the chance to experience a side of Imbabura Province you don't normally get to see, and you'll have genuine opportunities to meet members of the indigenous population, the Quechua Indians.

The Imbabura volcano is in the north of the country, not far from Otavalo.

My suggestion

Try to stay with the locals in the area, in La Esperanza for example, to discover and experience the lifestyle of the northern sierra.

The Sierra is the Andean region of Ecuador that's crossed by the Pan-American Highway. The other regions are Selva, home to the Amazon Rainforest and the Costa, which borders the Pacific Coast. Often called the 'Volcano Route', it boasts a dozen volcanoes, including the highest and most active in the world. And we're off to a giddy 3,000m altitude...
