QUITO LOCAL MARKET TOURS

I like to show tourists the real Ecuador and a better way to get to know it is by attending the markets where locals go shopping to support our families.

Being in the Middle of the World, Ecuador is a blessed country in terms of agriculture. We can produce the best fruits and vegetables throughout the year.

That is why the cost of living for a foreigner turns out to be very cheap, especially when it comes to eating healthy.

In this tour I propose to learn more about Ecuadorian customs in terms of gastronomy, agriculture, agronomy, crafts, decoration, even traditional energy cleanses and spiritual protections.

On our tour we will visit:

The Santa Clara Market where we will see the flower area, the sale of items for energy protection, the food area and especially on the outskirts the sale of wicker furniture and traditional Ecuadorian items for decoration.

The Crafts Market, where it is not necessary to go to Otavalo to visit an indigenous market. The indigenous market  has come to Quito, with the advantage that crafts and products from all over Ecuador are found here.

The central market where you can see a wide range of traditional Ecuadorian dishes, especially the famous corvina with ceviche with more than 60 years of tradition in this market.

And finally we will go to the San Francisco Market, where you will be able to experience what an energetic cleansing of the body and aura is . Our  respectful women who are wise in the knowledge of ancient medicine will show you all about their knowledge. 

This tour will truly remain in your memory and will be a fantastic opportunity to get to know a more real and closer Ecuador.

THE ROUTE OF THE PITA RIVER WATERFALLS IN RUMIPAMBA

Near Quito we can enjoy the waterfall route in which the wonderful landscape of flora and fauna becomes one with mother  nature.

CONDOR MACHAY 

In Quichua its name means “Nest of the Condor”. Sometimes you can see condors flying over the waterfall. A path to travel at a good pace, leads to the site known as Cóndor Machay, which houses the powerful waterfall. During the trip, we  pass a series of smaller waterfalls generated in the course of the Pita River.

During the journey we will observe beautiful and picturesque landscapes that in their highest part offer a spectacular panorama of elevations that are part of the Avenue of the Volcanoes. On a clear day we can observe the volcanoes: Pichincha, Ilaló, Cotopaxi, Sincholagua, Rumiñahui, Pasochoa, Antisana, Cayambe, Ilinizas, Atacazo, Corazón, La Viudita, Quilindaña.

While we walk along the route drawn to reach Cóndor Machay, we will also enjoy a series of waterfalls of various shapes and altitudes. The exuberant vegetation of the place, with forests of alder, pumamaquis, myrtle, achupallas, suro, cedrillo, and a variety of orchids will leave you amazed.

Species of mammals, birds and amphibians typical of the Andean region accompany you during the journey. The crystal clear waters of the river allow us to glimpse trout in their natural state. The imposing and whimsical rock shapes of the canyon invite reflection, leaving the visitor absorbed, they will leave you amazed.

LA CASCADA DEL FUEGO 

This waterfall is a magical and highly energetic site considered by the shamans who live around the place. It is believed that by crossing under the waterfall and receiving the dew of its waters one can cleanse the aura.

This waterfall is approximately 60 meters high and its waters come from the melting of the Cotopaxi and Sincholagua volcanoes.

During a journey to the Firefall we will find remnants of primary and secondary forests. Some of the species present include eucalyptus, blackberries, cedars and guayacanes.

We will also observe various birds that flutter in the treetops such as blackbirds, hummingbirds and we can see foxes that beautify the environment by being part of this wonderful nature.
