If you’re in Quito and want to do some souvenir shopping while supporting local artists, the La Mariscal Artisan Market is a great place to stop. This colourful market is full of handmade goods, traditional crafts, and unique pieces that reflect Ecuador’s culture and creativity.

We loved browsing the stalls, which sell everything from jewellery and textiles to paintings, hats, and small gifts that are easy to take home.

Prices vary depending on what you buy, but most items are very affordable, and there’s usually room to politely bargain. If you’re in Quito and want to pick up authentic, locally made souvenirs, La Mariscal Artisan Market is definitely worth a visit.
