Itinerary
Begin your experience inside a true Ecuadorian home kitchen where authentic flavors, stories, and hands-on cooking come together. Meet your instructor and a small group to begin your Ecuadorian culinary adventure. No experience is necessary, and you're bound to learn something new about Ecuadorian cooking and culture, whether you're a novice or an expert instructor. Your group will create several traditional Ecuadorian dishes such as locro de papas and seco de pollo, plus several appetizers and the classic canelazo. Listen as your instructor guides you through the process of making the dishes, taking notes if you like. Most of the ingredients used in these dishes can be found all over the world, so you'll be able to recreate them at home. Once everything’s ready, gather around the table to enjoy the full meal you created, share stories with your host, and toast with a homemade canelazo. You leave not just with recipes, but with skills, moments, and connections most travelers never experience.
