QUITO REALITY TOUR

Quito Reality Tour

The concept of this ½ day tour is to show you a more authentic side to Quito life, in other words, some of the places that tourists often don't get to see.

Highlights of this off-the-beaten-path Quito tour include:

• Catch a unique glimpse into local life at one of Quito’s markets, to witness the daily hustle and bustle of locals trading tropical fruits, grains, vegetables, and even guinea pigs!
• Visit a local chocolate shop to learn about how sustainable, fair-trade cocoa helps poor communities to develop a livelihood, and of course, to sample some delicious products.
• Stroll down the wonderfully restored La Ronda district, where artisans practice traditional trades, such as wood-carving, metallurgy, chocolate-making, hat-making, spinning top carving, and more.
• See the finest works of famous Ecuadorian artist Oswaldo Guayasamin, famed for his moving representations of the struggle of Latin America's indigenous people.
