My suggestion
Take part in the Inti Raymi festival, held on June 24 each year.
Accessible on foot from Otavalo. Peguche is a nice small village which can be proud of its beautiful waterfall in the middle of the forest.

On foot you can loop round from Otavalo, past "El Lechero", then the waterfall and finally the vilage. A really nice walk, off the beaten track!
