Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Ecuadorians tend to dress conservatively, and even if they wear jeans, the jeans are ironed and look pristine. You don't need to wear anything too fancy. Just don't wear anything that looks torn and shabby.
I would recommend bringing clothing that is easy to layer. It can become quite warm if the sun is shining and 10 min later be cold if the sun is behind a cloud. I don't recall it raining that much - although it can be overcast during the "rainy season". I think a rain proof jacket and an umbrella should do. There are a couple of nights a year where it gets below 0 F, but for the most part, you won't need a heavy coat. If you find yourself colder than you anticipated, you can always buy big warm sweaters in Otavalo.
