I traveled by bus from terminal Carcelen to Cotacachi. I found out that the bus I was on did not stop in Cotacachi when the fellow seated next to me (whom I had told I wanted to go to Cotacachi) pointed to the town as we were passing it. I then told the driver that I wanted to go to Cotacachi and he let me off the bus giving me instructions to wait on the opposite side of the highway for the bus marked “Cotacachi”. That got me there. For the return trip, I took a bus from Cotacachi to Otavalo, and from Otavalo took another bus back to terminal Carcelen in the north end of Quito.
