Overview
I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance to the Central Market (Pichincha Street) (please wait for me inside the market); I’ll be wearing a hat and my National Guide ID, and I’ll welcome you there.
Amid the streets steeped in history in Quito, a tour begins where flavors tell stories.
* Let’s visit a traditional market. Refresh yourself with the authentic flavors of exotic fruits and fresh juices.
* Try Ecuador’s signature dish. Discover a combination of flavors from the sea and the land.
* Let’s try hornado: juicy pork marinated in spices with a super-crispy skin.
* Toast with the traditional canelazo: a craft drink made with alcohol and fruit.
* Enjoy the taste of the Andes: mote con fritada, a classic Andean dish.
* Delicious green plantain dishes: experience the versatility of Ecuadorian green plantains in the best local recipes.
* Tradition wrapped in leaves—discover the legacy of corn.
* Sample local empanadas—here are two options to choose from.
* Traditional paila ice cream. Cool off with 100% natural ice cream, steeped in tradition and made in a bronze paila.
