Overview

This four-hour cooking experience in Quito begins with a meeting at the guest's hotel. If the hotel is near the Central Market, the guide will walk with guests to the market; otherwise, transportation is provided by a comfortable SUV. The tour starts with a visit to the traditional Central Market and its surroundings, where guests select fresh local ingredients for the cooking session. After the market visit, participants travel to a restaurant housed in a Colonial-style building located in the heart of Quito's Old Town. There, the cooking class teaches how to prepare three traditional Ecuadorian dishes using the fresh ingredients gathered earlier. Aprons and chef hats are provided for use during the class. The session concludes with guests enjoying the meal they prepared, which includes recipes to take home. Carbonated beverages and lunch are included in the price. The experience offers a look at local food culture combined with hands-on cooking and dining in a historical setting.
