Con profundo pesar, Otavalo despide a don Enrique Morales, quien se adelanta en el camino eterno.

With over 50 years of history, the Centenario Handicrafts Center – Casa de los Ponchos has been a landmark in the making and sale of ponchos in the city of Otavalo, proudly preserving the artisanal work and cultural richness of our land. With deep sorrow, the city of Otavalo bids farewell to Don Enrique Morales, who has passed on. Together with his wife, Zoila Jimbo, he dedicated a large part of his life to keeping this valuable family legacy alive. Today, Doña Zoila continues to honor the teachings, the effort, and the values ​​that her parents instilled in them, preserving the artisanal tradition that has distinguished this emblematic establishment for generations. His story is a testament to hard work, commitment, perseverance, and love for our roots, leaving an indelible mark on the Otavalo community. His legacy will live on in every poncho made, in every customer served, and in the memories of those who had the privilege of knowing him. 🕊️ Peace to his soul and strength to his family and loved ones.
