Itinerary
Begin your tasting session in a carefully selected local setting, where food is not treated as a spectacle, but as part of everyday life in Ecuador.
You’ll meet your local host and a small group of fellow travelers before starting a guided tasting of up to 32 traditional Ecuadorian foods, paired with local drinks. This experience is designed for curious eaters — no cooking skills required, just an appetite to understand how people in Cuenca actually eat.
As you taste, your host explains what each item is, when locals eat it, and why it matters culturally. You’ll learn details that rarely show up on menus or food tours, helping you decode Ecuadorian cuisine far beyond restaurants.
