Quito Market & Guayasamín House & Museum Tour

At the agreed time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in central Quito and set off to one of the city's traditional markets.

Upon entering, you'll find a flower stall featuring the "best roses in the world," which can last in perfect condition for up to 20 days after being picked. There are also fruits like papayas, custard apples, limes, and passion fruit available for tasting.

We'll explore the typical food area and observe the 'limpias' practice, which involves spiritual healings using plants from riverbanks. You will also learn about fine aroma cocoa, including its production and benefits.

After the market, we'll travel to the bohemian neighbourhood of Guápulo for views of the Pichincha volcano and Pasochoa from its viewpoint. The tour will conclude at the Guayasamín House Museum, where you'll learn about the artist’s themes related to poverty, the Mexican Revolution, and other historical contexts.

Finally, after a four-hour experience, we'll take you back to your hotel.
