To extend the experience, it is also possible to add a gourmet chocolate-focused extension, meeting a local artisan and discovering the secrets of Ecuadorian cacao.
IMBABURA
Just a few hours’ drive from Quito, the Imbabura region reveals one of the deepest and most vibrant expressions of Andean culture. Between volcanoes, fertile valleys and traditional villages, this ancestral land is a true cradle of pre-Columbian knowledge and living traditions.
