Fruit Tasting Experience with +15 Exotics Flavors of Ecuador

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

What sets this experience apart is Ecuador itself, one of the most biodiverse fruit regions on Earth, where the Andes and Amazon converge.

You won’t just taste unusual flavors; you’ll uncover the living heritage of farmers, healers, and families who have relied on these fruits for centuries.

Unlike typical food tours, this journey reveals ancestral uses, seasonal rhythms, and the surprising ways fruits shape medicine, rituals, and everyday life.

Each group is intentionally small (max 8) to keep the tasting intimate, and seasonal harvests mean no two experiences are ever the same.

Many travelers call it the most colorful and eye-opening highlight of their Quito trip, and with our 5-Star Experience Guarantee (full refund if it’s anything less), you can book with total peace of mind
