Direct access to family workshops: You’ll visit not only shops but also workshops where artisans demonstrate ancestral techniques in person (guitar making, filigree jewellery, miniature pottery, and Ikat weaving for macanas).

Encounter with living culture: You’ll interact directly with the Cholas Cuencanas and witness how they weave toquilla straw hats as part of their daily lives.

Authentic culinary experience: Includes a visit to a local market in Gualaceo with the opportunity to sample traditional dishes such as chancho hornado and llapingachos.

Flexibility through private tours: Offers the option to customise the final leg of the tour by choosing between traditional textile art or a visit to Ecuagenera, the country’s largest orchid garden.
