Do you know where your coffee comes from? ☕

Billions of people drink coffee daily... but very few actually know where and how their coffee is made.

In South America: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Bolivia all produce this delicious beverage. If you've travelled with us, you know we take our coffee seriously... and just a lucky few have been able to explore an actually coffee farm!

From bean to cup... freshly made, instantly tasted 😋

That's what are tours are all about: learning, living, and being a true traveler.. not just a tourist 🤎

Our upcoming trip to Ecuador explores local Haciendas: beautiful state houses from the Spanish colonial era that still preserve their charm, history, and culture.

Immersed in the middle of the mountains, they should definitely be added to your bucket list... of course, along side our next trip to Ecuador in November. ✍🏻

Easter: Bunnies, decorated eggs, and brunch? 🐰

Think again! In Ecuador's capital, Quito's easter celebrations involves solemn parades, elaborate garments, and cultural traditions that date back hundreds of years.

But let's not forget, before the catholic celebrations, indigenous communities celebrated Mushuc Nina (New Fire Day) to commemorate the equinox solstice🔥

Fanesca is a traditional Easter dish that represents this syncretism: tender Andean grains of the first harvests combined with Spanish grains, cured fish, and sweet plantain. More than 14 ingredients to make this elaborate recipe.

Our favorite spots to eat Fanesca in the city of Quito: Mercado Central, Hasta La Vuelta Señor, & Hansel & Gretel. Three spots, three delicious takes on this traditional dish.
