Tour description

This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a delicious, eye-opening journey through Ecuador’s extraordinary biodiversity, guided by a local fruit lover.

If you opt for the full experience, your day begins at one of Quito’s bustling markets, where your host will select and open fruits you’ve probably never seen before. Want to skip the walk? No problem — the tasting alone is just as immersive.

As you taste, you’ll discover:

Nutritional properties and healing uses

Indigenous and colonial histories

Seasonal patterns and farming traditions

Culinary secrets from the Andes to the Amazon

From tangy to creamy, sweet to earthy, this tasting experience invites you to rediscover fruit the Ecuadorian way.

"...But that’s more or less what happened. Each slice came with a story: which region it’s from, who grows it, how people use it in remedies or desserts. Some tasted familiar, others were completely strange in the best way. By the end, I felt like I’d taken a quick trip from the Andes to the Amazon without leaving my chair. It was as educational as a museum, just a lot tastier."

I didn’t expect fruit to explain a whole country...
