♡ Save


Discover Ecuador’s rich biodiversity on a unique fruit-tasting tour led by a local expert. Sample exotic fruits, learn about their traditional uses, and uncover the secrets of local farming in a lively market or welcoming tasting space.
This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a delicious, eye-opening journey through Ecuador’s extraordinary biodiversity, guided by a local fruit lover.
If you opt for the full experience, your day begins at one of Quito’s bustling markets, where your host will select and open fruits you’ve probably never seen before. Want to skip the walk? No problem — the tasting alone is just as immersive.
As you taste, you’ll discover:
Nutritional properties and healing uses. Indigenous and colonial histories. Seasonal patterns and farming traditions. Culinary secrets from the Andes to the Amazon.
From tangy to creamy, sweet to earthy, this tasting experience invites you to rediscover fruit the Ecuadorian way.
