With this visit to a traditional market and the Guayasamín House Museum, we will explore Quito and the work of an important Ecuadorian artist.
Quito Market & Guayasamín House & Museum Tour
At the agreed time, we will pick you up from your hotel in central Quito and proceed to a traditional market.
Upon entry, you will find a vibrant flower stall known for the "best roses in the world," which can last for up to 20 days after being picked. You will also encounter various fruits, including papayas, custard apples, limes, and passion fruit, which you may taste.
We will pass through the food area and observe the 'limpias' practice, a form of spiritual healing using local plants. Additionally, we will explore the area dedicated to fine aroma cocoa to discover its production process and benefits.
Next, we will visit the bohemian neighborhood of Guápulo for views of the Pichincha volcano and Pasochoa from a viewpoint. Following this, we'll visit the Guayasamín House Museum to learn about the themes of poverty, the Mexican Revolution, the crisis, and the Spanish Civil War reflected in the artist's work.
After a four-hour experience, we will return you to your hotel.
