Discover the flavors of Cuenca with a local culinary expert, guiding you through up to 32 unique tastes that showcase Ecuador’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage — a fusion of Andean roots, colonial elegance, and southern highland traditions.

This is not a cooking class, not a walking tour, and not your typical sit-down meal. It’s a feast for your senses and your curiosity.

Sample golden llapingachos, taste sharp artisanal cheeses from the nearby highlands, and sip canelazo, a warming drink made with cinnamon and naranjilla. Cuenca’s unique blend of altitude, tradition, and innovation adds depth to every bite. Join us on this unforgettable journey into Cuenca’s vibrant food scene and cultural soul!

This experience happens in the safety of our chef's home and not in a culinary studio. You'll get a glimpse into how locals live, cook and eat.
