Overview

Embark on a "Sensory Journey Through the Essence of Quito"! This exclusive walking food tour is your ticket to the authentic flavors of Quito's UNESCO-listed Historic Center. We start at the iconic La Alameda Park (Simón Bolívar Monument).

Our journey begins at Zular Café for an intimate look at high-altitude coffee. Then, immerse yourself in the colors and aromas of the Central Market, tasting exotic fruits and seeing traditional dishes. The sweet chapter includes stops at San Agustín Ice Cream Parlor for traditional flavors and the Archbishop's Palace to witness the unique preparation of "helados de paila" in a bronze pan over ice. We culminate at Kitu Artisan Chocolatier for a bean-to-bar experience with fine aroma cocoa.

Along the way, be ready for delightful surprises and hidden local treats! This 3.5 to 4-hour adventure perfectly blends history, culture, and Quito's purest flavors into an unforgettable experience.
