Shopping Free Tour of Quito
Overview
You’ll meet talented artisans from across Ecuador whose crafts reflect generations of skill and culture. Whether it’s a Montecristi hat, a hand-woven poncho, or a delicate metalwork piece, each find connects you to a heritage preserved in texture, form, and color.
Ahead of your visit, we’ll share tips for bargaining respectfully and choosing items with deeper meaning. Bring cash so you can support local makers directly. Leave not just with souvenirs—but with memories of the people and traditions behind them.
