To fully experience the best Ecuadorian food, exploring these regional specialties is just as important as visiting its iconic landscapes.

Andean Traditions from the Highlands

The Andes contribute the delicious hornado, a whole pig slowly roasted and served with potato tortillas, hominy, and hot pepper. And for those cold nights in the highlands, locro de papa, a thick cream of native potatoes with fresh cheese.

Amazonian Secrets from the Jungle

The Amazon offers more exotic flavors, such as maito, fish wrapped in bijou leaves and grilled over coals, or chicha de yuca, a fermented drink that Indigenous communities have prepared for centuries following ancestral rituals.

Our Ecuador tours include immersive gastronomic experiences beyond traditional meals with Ecuador private tours. You’ll be able to explore colorful markets like Quito’s Central Market or Cuenca’s 10 de Agosto Market, where local aromas and flavors envelop you during your gastronomic visit.
