Experience Ecuador through its food and gastronomy. A multicultural nation with rich and productive soils, Ecuador has a rich gastronomical heritage that includes the world’s best cocoa and chocolate and many fresh fruits and vegetables from tree to table. Experience harvesting organic coffee beans and brewing your own cup of coffee, or open yourself to novel and unique food. Eating and drinking local cuisine is one of the best ways to get an insight into a country’s heritage. We design travel experiences that incorporate the principles of slow food: enjoy good food, support those who grow it, and consume food that is also good for the planet.

Experiencing another culture, spending time in one place, visiting the local food market or cooking with the local people, enjoying the hospitality, rich traditions, and natural beauty of Ecuador’s communities with no tourists around. Connecting with the locals, staying with the local communities, learning traditional weavings, handicrafts, and the relationship between the local cultures and their environment. Community and cultural experiences are probably one of the best ways to be a conscious traveler.
