Overview

This half-day experience invites you to get to know Guayaquil. Explore its history, cultural diversity, and Ecuadorian cuisine. The tour begins at the Historic Park, where you can observe wildlife and the architectural history of the city.

Next, we will visit the Las Peñas area, famous for its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. The climb to Cerro Santa Ana offers breathtaking panoramic views.

Additionally, we will visit the Cacao Museum. You will learn about the agricultural tradition and development of cacao in the region. You will see the chocolate-making process at the Cacao Factory, an educational and delicious experience.

We will finish with an Ecuadorian cooking class. We will prepare traditional dishes, especially seafood, and enjoy homemade hot chocolate. We will cook fish with cacao paste, a recipe that will help you better understand local gastronomy and the uses of cacao. The objective is to appreciate the cultural and culinary diversity of Ecuador.
