Saquisilí is a town in the Cotopaxi Province of Ecuador.

Sasquisilí is located about 25 minutes from Latacunga and 2.5 hours from Quito.

The town, located off the Pan-American Highway, is best known for the local market held in its eight plazas on Thursdays [1].

Unlike Otavalo, the market is mainly for locals from the highlands who come to buy pots and pans, electronics, herbal remedies, livestock or produce [2].

Traditional food is available in the market, which serves the local population rather than the tourist trade.
