We visited Ecuador in July of 2025 and visited three amazing cities: Guayaquil, Quito, and Cuenca. Ecuador is definitely underrated when it comes to destinations in South America but it is an amazing country with a unique culture, beautiful sceneries, and incredible food. We packed in a lot but still feel like we have so much left to see! A little background: my fiancé Eddie was born and raised in Quito, so our trip was definitely different from the typical tourist experience. We had family driving us around and taking us to certain areas in each city, which made getting around a lot easier. That said, I still wanted to put together all my recommendations of things to see, do, eat, and drink if you’re planning your own trip.
If you want the easy, ready-to-go Google Maps version of this itinerary with every restaurant, bar, and sightseeing spot pinned for you, you can purchase it here.
Things to Do
General Tips:
Currency: Ecuador actually uses the US dollar, so if you’re American, that part is easy! But cash is king here, so make sure you travel with enough. We took out $200 for a 10-day trip and ended up grabbing another $200 halfway through. I’d recommend budgeting about $200 per person in your group just to be safe. Bring small bills, nothing larger than $20s. Most of the time you’ll be using $5 or less, and you’ll want to have change, especially if you’re bartering at a market. Last but not least, bring a coin purse because all the change you get back will be in coins.
Weather: Layers will be your best friend here, but always check the forecast before you pack. In July, Guayaquil is hot during the day (shorts and a tee) but cools down with a breeze at night, so if you get cold easily, pack a light jacket. Quito and Cuenca are in the mountains at higher altitudes, so it’s cooler but also sunnier than you might expect. During the day, the sun makes it feel warmer, but at night the cold catches up quick, enough to wear a thin puffer jacket. Also, bring sunscreen! Even if it’s chilly, you’re much closer to the sun, and those UV rays will get you.
Altitude: Quito and Cuenca are both very high-altitude cities. Every body reacts differently, some people barely notice it, while others feel it right away. My altitude sickness showed up in my stomach, so Pepto and Imodium were lifesavers. The main thing is to drink plenty of water and take it easy your first day. Feeling tired more quickly is totally normal.
Safety: Like anywhere, be aware of your surroundings and stick to main tourist areas. We felt comfortable because we were with family who knew the cities well, but if you’re visiting on your own, do your research and be mindful of where you go, especially at night and especially in Guayaquil. Don't wear flashy jewelry, you will stand out.
Transportation: We used family cars for most of our trip, but Ubers are available in Guayaquil and Quito and are generally the safest way to get around. Between cities, you can take short domestic flights or hire a private driver. In Cuenca there are only taxis, so I highly recommend the Azutaxi app so you can hail a cab.
Outlets: Same as in the US, so no need for a converter if you’re a fellow American!
Now for the good part: where we stayed, what we did, and everything we ate and drank along the way.
Guayaquil:
Where to Stay:
Hilton Colon Guayaquil
Eddie’s family recommended this hotel, so that’s exactly where we stayed. It’s a very nice property modern, clean, and close to the airport. If you have a car, it’s central for getting around the city, although I would NOT recommend driving here as a tourist, use Uber instead. It’s not really walkable to anywhere from here, but there is another Hilton in Guayaquil that’s closer to Calle Panamá, putting you within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and El Malecón. That said, we were told that area can feel a little dodgy at night.
Address: Av. Francisco de Orellana Mz. 111, Guayaquil 090512, Ecuador
Things to Do:
Cerro Santa Ana
If you only do one thing in Guayaquil, make it this. Start at the waterfront promenade of Puerto Santa Ana, lined with restaurants, cafés, and shops. From there, climb the 444 steps up to Cerro Santa Ana. Along the way, you’ll wander through the colorful and lively neighborhood of Las Peñas, passing street art, small bars, galleries, and colorful little plazas. At the top, you’ll find the Faro Las Peñas lighthouse and Iglesia del Cerro church, plus sweeping views of the city and river. Go later in the afternoon so you avoid the heat and can catch the sunset from the top, it’s totally worth the climb.
Price: Free
Malecón 2000
One of Guayaquil’s most famous attractions, this waterfront promenade is always full of people enjoying the day. You’ll find monuments, gardens, restaurants, street vendors, and even a Ferris wheel with views over the river. It’s a great place for a walk, people-watching, or grabbing a snack from one of the many vendors. There’s also the MAAC (Museo Antropológico y de Arte Contemporáneo) if you want to check out local art and history, we didn't make it here but it is free! Right outside the Malecón, you can also spot the Town Hall and Arts University buildings, both beautiful and worth a quick photo.
Address: Simon Bolivar Palacios, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Price: Free
Calle Panamá
This is a really lively area packed with restaurants, cafés, some of the city's best bars, street art, plus a few shops and the Museo Nacional del Cacao. The museum is small but really cool to visit, walking you through the history of cacao in Ecuador and showing how it’s transformed from fruit to chocolate. Admission is $5 USD per person and so worth it!
Address (Museum): Imbabura 201, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Price: Free, unless you visit the museum, then $5 per person
Aerovía
Guayaquil’s public cable car system is both a form of transportation and a fun way to get a different perspective of the city. The ride gives you great aerial views of the river, neighborhoods, and skyline. We paid $8.50 USD for three people, which included buying the rechargeable card you need to board, then loading it with the fare for each rider.
We started at the station right next to the Malecón, rode it over to Durán, and then all the way to the end in the city center. DO NOT leave the cable car station to explore Durán, this area is known to be extremely dangerous, even for locals. If you want to explore, stick to the last station in the city center. From here, it’s less than a five-minute walk to Parque Centenario before hopping back on. The park itself doesn’t have a ton to see, but it’s nice for a quick stroll, with a central statue and plenty of people walking around.
Address (Aerovía Station): Simon Bolivar Palacios, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Address: (Park): Pedro Moncayo &, Guayaquil 090312, Ecuador
Parque Seminario & Guayaquil Cathedral
Right in the heart of the city, you'll find Parque Seminario, right in front of Guayaquil Cathedral. The park is best known for its resident iguanas that you'll just see hanging out all over. The cathedral is a beautiful neo-Gothic church with intricate stained glass windows. Entry to the main church is free, but for $3 USD you can take a short tour that includes access to the terraces and a walkway in the upper part of the building, giving you an up-close look at the stained glass which was a really cool experience.
Address (Park): Rocafuerte Chimborazo, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Address (Cathedral): e/ Ago y Ballén, Rocafuerte Chimborazo &, Guayaquil, Ecuador
Price: Free for entrance, $3 for terraces & stained glass windows
Parque Histórico de Guayaquil
Located a bit outside the city center in Samborondón, this park is part zoo, part botanical garden, and part cultural exhibit. It's a really interesting place that showcases Ecuador's wildlife, traditional architecture, and history. You'll find a ton of native animals and plants, plus recreated historic buildings and exhibits that show what life in the region looked like in the past.
Address: Av. Rio Esmeraldas, Samborondón 092301, Ecuador
Price: $5 per person
Where to Eat & Drink:
Sambolón
If you want to start your day like a local, Sambolón is a must. They have several locations around the city, and this is where you can try some of the most typical breakfast dishes like bolón and tigrillo. A bolón is made with mashed plantains, green, ripe, or a mix, and can be served plain or stuffed with cheese, pork, or other fillings. We had the bolón mixto de chicharrón and it was incredible. Tigrillo is another plantain-based dish, but mixed with eggs and cheese into a sort of savory mash, sometimes topped with protein. Both dishes were so memorable!
Address: La Piazza, Samborondón 092301, Ecuador
Chocolatería San Fernando
Located right below the Museo del Cacao, this little spot is chocolate heaven. They sell everything from chocolate bars to ice cream and even cacao beer. It’s a great place to grab a sweet treat or pick up a few souvenirs after your visit to the museum.
Address: Imbabura 201, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Marrecife
Marrecife is known for its fresh seafood dishes and is featured on the 50 Best Discovery list. It’s the perfect place to try some of Ecuador’s most iconic coastal dishes like ceviche or pescado con salsa de maní (fish with peanut sauce). The food is homey, flavorful, and has great portions.
Address: Av. 9, Guayaquil 090512, Ecuador
Website: http://www.marrecife.com
Picantería El Colorado de la Bahía
This one is about as local as it gets. They’re known for encebollado, a traditional seafood soup that’s actually eaten for breakfast in Ecuador. As I mentioned earlier, we had family driving us around, so this is one of the local spots they took us to. It’s not in a touristy area, so I don’t know how much I’d recommend venturing there on your own but if you get the chance to go, it’s great!
Address: Av. Pdte. Juan de Dios Martínez Mera, Guayaquil 090511, Ecuador
El Gran Yate
This is another very local spot known for their cangrejo criollo. It’s super casual and laid-back, but the food is amazing. They mainly serve crab or crab-based dishes, and it’s a hands-on experience, you’ll be cracking the crabs yourself right at the table. I recommend ordering some plain crab and the encocado, which is made with that same crab (already shredded up) in a coconut sauce over rice. It was honestly one of the best things I ate in Guayaquil.
Address: Av. Benjamín Carrión Mora, Guayaquil 090501, Ecuador
Juliana
This is an incredible rooftop bar on top of the same building that houses the Museo del Cacao, and it’s also featured on the 50 Best Discovery list. It’s an absolute must if you’re a craft cocktail lover like we are! The decor is beautiful, the drinks are so thoughtfully made, and they taste just as good as they look. They currently have a menu called Toque de Queda that highlights local ingredients like cacao, tropical fruits, and spices.
Address: Imbabura 201, Guayaquil 090313, Ecuador
Website: julianabar.com
Nicanor Casa de Bebidas
Another great bar in the same area is Nicanor, which highlights Ecuadorian ingredients through creative cocktails. Each drink tells a story from a different region of the country, showcasing local fruits, herbs, and spirits. It’s a little more casual than Juliana, but the drinks are just as impressive. They also make some great classic cocktails if you're looking for something more simple!

Quito:
Where to Stay:
We stayed with Eddie's aunt at the house he used to live in when he was still in Quito so unfortunately I can't recommend a specific hotel. But I would recommend staying as close as you can to the historic city center so you can explore and be in the most central area of the city!
Things to Do:
Centro Histórico
Quito’s historic center was designated as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites back in 1978 because of its incredibly well-preserved colonial architecture. It's a really beautiful and clean area to walk around, it's honestly one of the nicest city centers i've visited in South America.
Basilica del Voto Nacional
This was my favorite church of all the ones we visited in the city center. It's beautiful both inside and out. It's massive and has some great views of the city from all angles if you decide to visit the terraces, which I highly recommend. It also has a few small shops where you can pick up souvenirs or try a very common cold-weather drink in Quito called a Canelazo.
Address: Venezuela 11-263 y, Quito 170130, Ecuador
Price: $2 per person for church entry, $4 per person for terraces
Website: https://basilicaquito.com
Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús
This is probably the most famous church in Quito because of its unique look. The entire interior is covered in gold, and it’s amazing in person. It was really impressive seeing all the intricate details throughout even the ceilings are completely covered.
Address: García Moreno N10-43, Quito 170401, Ecuador
Price: $6 per person
República del Cacao
This is a shop that celebrates Ecuador’s cacao. You can learn about the chocolate-making process in their small museum, taste their products from chocolate bars to ice cream, and shop for gifts to bring home. They also offer chocolate-tasting experiences that looked amazing, unfortunately we ran out of time to do one ourselves!
Address: Venezuela 976, Quito 170401, Ecuador
Price: Free entry, experiences/food available for purchase
Website: https://republicadelcacao.com/en/
Museo Camilo Egas
Along Calle Venezuela, as you walk toward the Basilica, you'll find this small, free museum housed in a historic home that showcases Ecuadorian art. It’s a quick stop but worth a visit to see some interesting native-inspired pieces and local artwork.
Address: Calle Venezuela 02, Quito 170206, Ecuador
Price: Free
Plaza Grande
This is the main square in the historic city center. It’s surrounded by churches, government buildings, and lots of people just sitting on park benches and enjoying the day. It’s a great spot for photos or just to relax for a bit!
Address: Chile St Venezuela, García Moreno N5-16, Quito 170401, Ecuador
Price: Free
Some other churches that we popped into/didn't visit are:
Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco
Catedral Metropolitana de Quito
I would definitely prioritize the Basilica and Compañía churches over these, the others can feel a bit repetitive if you’re short on time.
Mitad del Mundo
This is one of Quito's most popular tourist attractions, where you can stand between the northern and southern hemispheres. The area is huge, with lots to see including different museums, the monument itself, artwork, shops, and restaurants. I'd recommend giving at least a full half day to explore everything properly, we ran out of time here!
Address: Av. Manuel Córdova Galarza SN, Quito 170311, Ecuador
Price: $5 per person
Website: https://mitaddelmundo.gob.ec
TelefériQo Cable Car
One of the highest aerial lifts in the world, the Teleférico takes about 18 minutes to go from the bottom to the top. The views from up here are incredible, and if you’re lucky, you can catch some of Ecuador’s volcanoes peeking out, including Cotopaxi. Make sure to bring a jacket since it’s colder up in the mountains.
Address: Fulgencio Araujo, y, Quito 170527, Ecuador
Price: $9 per person
Website: https://teleferico.com.ec
La Virgen de El Panecillo
You can see the Virgen from all around Quito, especially if you visit the terraces at the Basilica. She’s like the guardian of the city, sitting on top of a hill that overlooks the whole city. It’s free to visit, and it’s really just a park on a hill with the Virgin in the center. We went at night, which was actually really nice to see her all lit up!
Address: Gral. Melchor Aymerich, Quito 170111, Ecuador
Price: Free
Website: https://virgendelpanecillo.org
Day Trips:
There are several day trips that you can take from Quito whether you want to immerse yourself into more nature or have a relaxing day off away from sightseeing. These are the two day trips we took.
Papallacta
If you only have one extra day for a day trip, I would highly recommend this one. If you're anything like us when we travel, always go, go, go to see all the sights, you might be in need of a day to relax. About an hour and a half outside Quito, Papallacta is the perfect place to spend the day soaking in the thermal pools.
You can visit Termas de Papallacta, where they have hot pools with volcanic waters that are said to have healing properties. Access to the spa pools is $24 per person, which was so worth it, our skin felt amazing afterwards. If you have more time or budget, I highly recommend booking a treatment. I did the bamboo massage, and it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had.
There’s also an on-site restaurant that we weren’t expecting to be as good as it was, they serve a lot of local Ecuadorian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. If you want to make it a longer getaway, you can also stay overnight at the resort. The drive from Quito is mostly highway so it's very doable in a rental car.
Address: Papallacta, Napo Province, Ecuador
Price: $24 per person for spa pools, $54 for 55-minute bamboo massage
Website: https://www.termaspapallacta.com
Otavalo & Ibarra
We did this day trip with Eddie’s family, and while it was a fun way to see more of Ecuador outside the city, I wouldn’t say it’s a must-do if you’re short on time. It’s a lot of driving for just a few quick stops, so I’d prioritize spending more time in Quito itself or doing the Papallacta day trip instead!
That said, if you do have the time, it’s a nice way to get a taste of Ecuadorian culture. You can visit the Plaza de los Ponchos in Otavalo, which is the largest Indigenous market in South America and sells all kinds of artisanal goods like tablecloths, artwork, and handmade crafts.
We also stopped in Ibarra, a small town known for its traditional helado de paila, a hand-churned ice cream made in copper pans over ice. We tried it at Helados Rosalia, which has been open since 1896 and it was amazing. They had so many tropical fruit flavors, things you’d never find in the U.S.
If you want to stretch the day a little more, you can also stop at Reserva Cotacachi-Cayapas, a beautiful nature area with trails, a visitor center, and boat rides surrounded by mountain and lake views.
Some food you can try along the way in addition to the ice cream is Cafetería El Horneador for breakfast. This is a classic local spot right off the highway where you can try a traditional Ecuadorian breakfast like queso de hoja, biscochos, coffee or hot chocolate, and jugo de tomate de árbol. For lunch, stop at Fritadas Amazonas, which is well known for their Bandejas Amazonas. These plates come with fritadas, papas, tostado, and mote. They also have other Ecuadorian favorites like empanadas de viento.
Addresses:
Cafetería El Horneado: San Joaquín, Ecuador
Plaza de los Ponchos: José García Moreno 418, Otavalo, Ecuador
Fritadas Amazonas: Troncal de la Sierra, Atuntaqui, Ecuador
Helados Rosalía: Edificio Rosalia, Miguel Oviedo 779 y, Ibarra 100150, Ecuador
Reserva Cotacachi-Cayapas: QFVP+95P, Cotacachi, Ecuador
Where to Eat & Drink:
Since we were with family and did a few day trips, we didn’t venture out too much when it came to food, but we did get to try a few great spots!
La Casa de la Humita
This is a super local spot serving classic Ecuadorian dishes. They specialize in humitas and quimbolitos. A humita is kind of like a tamal, made with fresh corn and sometimes cheese, wrapped in corn husks and steamed. Quimbolitos are similar but sweeter and often made with raisins. They are both absolutely delicious, I'd recommend getting one of each. They also serve fresh juices made with tropical fruits, which are perfect with these dishes.
Address: Selva Alegre, Selva Alegre, Y OE8-255 y, Quito 170521, Ecuador
Website: lacasadelahumita.com
Tributo
If you love meat, this is a must-visit. Tributo is on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and specializes in meats cooked on a wood-fired grill. The flavors are incredible, and the portions are generous. I wouldn’t call it traditional Ecuadorian food though, it leans more into Latin-inspired flavors.
Address: Isabela Catolica N24-54 entre Luis Cordero y Francisco Salazar, Quito 170525, Ecuador
Website: tributo.ec
Chosen Bar
This is a cozy indoor rooftop bar with a really interesting cocktail menu and fun bites to snack on. It's a trendy spot but very laid back. We were pleasently surprised by the quality of the cocktails and the food here.
Address: Edificio Ases, Catalina Aldaz 34 – 77 y, Av. Portugal 205, Quito 170135, Ecuador
Somos Ecuador Restaurant
This is more of an honorable mention. We tried to go here but they were closed for a private event. The same chef also has a restaurant in Miami called COTOA, which is currently one of my favorite restaurants, it's truly amazing. I can only imagine how incredible the Quito location is, so I wanted to give it a mention!
Address: Av. Eloy Alfaro N34-421, Quito 170504, Ecuador
Website: somos.rest
Cuenca:
Where to Stay:
Four Points by Sheraton
This hotel isn’t quite in the old city center, but if you’re looking for a more traditional hotel experience, it’s a great option. The rooms are very nice, the property is clean, and the rates are super affordable. It’s still very close to the city center, about a $5 cab ride away, so you can easily get to the main attractions while enjoying the comfort of a regular hotel.
Address: Av. de las Américas 9-55, Cuenca 010150, Ecuador
Things to Do:
Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción de Cuenca
This is the main church in Cuenca and definitely the iconic focal point of the city. The domes are super unique, and the inside is also beautiful. It’s free to enter, but I highly recommend climbing up to the terraces for an up-close look at the domes and sweeping views of the city which is an added cost.
Address: Benigno Malo, Cuenca, Ecuador
Price: $2 per person
Seminario San Luis
Just a few doors down from the cathedral, this pretty square/plaza has a great view of the domes and is surrounded by some restaurants and local vendors. It’s a nice spot to stop, take photos, and shop around!
Address: 49 y, Simón Bolívar & Padre Aguirre, Cuenca, Ecuador
Museo del Sombrero de Paja Toquilla
A small museum and shop that explores the history of the Panama hat, which actually originated in Cuenca. It’s called a Panama hat because it was shipped through Panama and worn by workers on the Panama Canal. You can learn all about how the hats are made and even watch artisans creating them right in front of you. Admission is $1 per person, and that dollar can be used toward a purchase in the store or café.
Address: Calle Larga 10-41 y, Cuenca, Ecuador
Price: $1 per person
Museo Pumapungo
A free museum with artifacts, modern art, cultural exhibits, and even some ancient ruins outside. It’s a really cool place to explore, especially considering it’s free. The outdoor area sits on top of a hill that overlooks the city, it was perfect to explore on a nice day!
Address: Calle Larga 182, Cuenca 010107, Ecuador
Website: https://www.culturaypatrimonio.gob.ec/museo-y-sitio-arqueologico-pumapungo-provincia-de-azuay/
Price: Free
Mirador del Turi
This is one of Cuenca’s most famous viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramic views of the city. That said, it’s definitely a very touristy spot and can feel chaotic, especially with the abundance of paid photo-op setups and souvenir stands. If you’re short on time, I wouldn’t prioritize it, but it’s still worth a quick stop if you want a bird’s-eye view of Cuenca.
Address: Av Mirador de Turi, Cuenca, Ecuador
Mercados
Cuenca has a few local markets worth checking out. Mercado 10 de Agosto and Mercado 9 de Octubre are primarily food markets where you can see all the fresh fruits, vegetables, and local ingredients. Mercado de Artesanías Rotary is more focused on artisanal goods like small purses, souvenirs, and handmade items.
Alcaldía de Cuenca (City Hall)
A pretty building from the outside with a small free exhibit inside featuring mostly old photographs. A fun little stop if you’re wandering the city center and want to see something different.
Address: Simón Bolívar &, Cuenca, Ecuador
Price: Free
Cava Ron San Miguel
If you like rum and visiting distilleries, you should definitely make it a point to visit Cava Ron San Miguel. It's a really cool facility and the tour gives you all the ins and outs of the rum-making process. We arrived close to closing time, but the staff were so nice and let us do an express tour.
Address: 3X85+949, Cuenca, Ecuador
Website: https://ronsanmiguel.com/en/age
Day Trips:
Cajas National Park
Cajas National Park is a beautiful nature area just outside Cuenca, full of hiking trails, lakes, and viewpoints. It’s a great way to get out into nature and enjoy a completely different scenery from the city. We didn’t have a car while we were in Cuenca, so we couldn’t explore this area as much as we would have liked, but we were able to make a quick pit stop on our way to the Guayaquil airport . If I ever go back, I’d definitely dedicate a full day to exploring this park.
Where to Eat & Drink:
We had some incredible food throughout our trip in Ecuador, but I think Cuenca takes the cake. Every meal we had was amazing. Here are all of the spots we tried:
Cafe de la Sucre
A super cute breakfast cafe/coffee shop set in a traditional-looking building. They serve great coffee along with typical Ecuadorian breakfast items like humitas and quimbolitos as well as sweets.
Address: Mariscal Sucre 10-50 y, Cuenca, Ecuador
Chocolatería Dos Chorreras
This place is a must for chocolate lovers. This location is in Cuenca’s city center (although they are best known for their location in Cajas National Park). Everything here is chocolate-focused, from hot chocolate to desserts to cacao wine. The hot chocolate was honestly the best I’ve ever had, and everything else was just as delicious.
Address: Simón Bolívar 10-09 y, Padre Aguirre esquina, Cuenca 010101, Ecuador
Website: https://hosteriadoschorreras.com/
Negroni
This is a rooftop restaurant with incredible views of the city and the cathedral. The food is Nikkei/Peruvian-style with sushi and ceviche dishes on the menu. It’s not mind-blowing, but it’s solid, the drinks and views make it worth a stop.
Address: Simón Bolívar 8-44, Cuenca 010101, Ecuador
Website: https://sociedadgourmet.ec/negroni/
La María Cocina Libre
This place focuses on traditional Ecuadorian ingredients and dishes with a modern twist. They also have great craft cocktails featuring local flavors like colada morada, chicha, and miske (an Andean agave spirit similar to mezcal). Your meal starts with fresh bread served with cacao butter (insane) and the seafood and meat dishes were absolutely delicious. It was a great experience.
Address: Benigno Malo 516 y, Cuenca 010112, Ecuador
Website: https://www.lamaria.ec/
Tiesto's Cafe Restaurant
Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had recently, and easily our favorite in Ecuador. Although they have a menu, the chef personally builds a suggested menu for each table. Everything he brought out for us was incredible, from the albacore tuna to the steak. Ingredients are super fresh, and the chef genuinely interacts with each table which truly elevates the experience. Make a reservation, this place gets packed and you don't want to miss out.
Address: Juan Jaramillo 4-89 y Mariano Cueva, Cuenca 010104, Ecuador
The Sip Club by Santa Lucia Hotel
Located inside the stunning Hotel Santa Lucia, this bar is worth a visit even if it's just to check out the beautiful lobby. The bar itself is so cozy, loungey, dim, and intimate. They have a full bar if you want something classic, but also a really nice selection of craft cocktails if you’re in the mood to try something a little more creative.
Address: Calle Presidente Borrero 8-44, Cuenca 010101, Ecuador
That's a wrap on Ecuador! Since we have family there, this post will probably be updated over the years, but this is a great starting point to explore this beautiful country. As always, our DMs and emails are open for any specific questions. Thanks for reading!
