Ecuador is a gem set on the equator, a microcosm where biodiversity reaches unimaginable heights. From the snow-capped peaks of Andean volcanoes to the dense Amazon jungle and the legendary Galapagos Islands, this nation offers a profound travel experience. Here, luxury blends with environmental conservation and the restoration of historic colonial mansions of priceless artistic value.
Quito, the first city in the world to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts the best-preserved historic center in the Americas. Walking through its squares is an immersion in Andean Baroque, with gold-clad churches like La Compañía de Jesús. Cuenca, meanwhile, enchants with its cultured and bohemian atmosphere, its rivers crossing the city, and the expert production of the famous Panama hats, a craft excellence that deserves to be discovered in historic workshops.
Real Experience: There is nothing more moving than sipping an Ecuadorian hot chocolate on the terrace of an ancient hacienda as the sun sets over the perfect cone of the Cotopaxi Volcano. We recommend visiting the national park early in the morning to spot wild horses, and then retreating to one of the area's charming structures for a dinner based on zero-kilometer organic products grown in volcanic soils.
Ecuador is undergoing an incredible gastronomic renaissance. The cuisine ranges from fresh shrimp ceviche on the coast to traditional locro de papas (potato and avocado soup) in the mountains. But the true star is the Arriba cocoa, considered the best in the world. Taking part in a professional dark chocolate tasting in Quito is not just a treat for the palate, but a journey through the agricultural history of this country.
