On this guided tour of Cava San Miguel, we'll uncover the secrets of how Ecuador's most famous rum is made in the heart of the Equatorian Andes. We'll also visit Hostería dos Chorreras, combining history, nature, and flavor.
Tour Details
We'll meet at your selected starting point and drive to Cava San Miguel, just 15 minutes from Cuenca's center.
Upon arrival at the rum factory, a guided tour will explain how sugarcane is transformed into a drink at this altitude. Learn about its origins and experience its unique aromas.
Thousands of oak barrels in the Cava San Miguel cellars store the distilled drinks. The quality of the wood, along with strict controls, allows these spirits to develop into Ecuador’s only natural and authentic rum.
The tour concludes with a rum tasting. Cheers!
Next, we'll drive 30 minutes to Hostería dos Chorreras, situated in Cajas National Park, surrounded by lagoons and Andean vegetation. You'll have 3 hours of free time to enjoy the area, take tractor rides, fish for trout, or go boating. You may visit the warehouse and have a meal next to the stream or at the Chocolatería, which offers Equatorian cacao tastings.
Finally, we'll return to Cuenca to conclude this 6-hour tour.
