Quito is characterized by being the first World Cultural Heritage City by UNESCO for its spectacular preservation of Colonial Architecture and its past---residing in the midst of the modern.  

But Quito hides many things including the flavors and aromas of one of the oldest traditions of its ancestors.  These flavors and aromas haunt the most special and spectacular corners of this wonderful city.   The tradition of sweet gastronomic delight welcomes even the most casual visitor.  Many of these shops are known to locals, but are far off the “tourist track.” We know about them, we’ve shopped them for years, and now, you can learn about them, too.
 
We will begin our day very early from the hotel towards our first stop, where we will visit one of the oldest bakeries in Quito. We will have the opportunity to be present at the manufacturing site of the famous "Quesadillas,” sweets made from cheese---which is actually the derivation of the name. 
 
We will travel to the deep Southern section of Quito through streets and neighborhoods unique to tours until we arrive at our next stop---the famous “Dulces Tradicionales de Quito” a very familiar micro-enterprise with over 80 years of tradition. 
 
After this exclusive visit---available only on the Sweets of the Gods Tour-- it’s time to learn more about the secrets of the “Mistelas.” 
 
This is a very interesting sweet---and even more interesting is the production process.  The inventors from Colombia have lots of stories to share.  You will be delighted by several flavors--with some containing alcohol, including either whiskey or rum. 
 
Our tour takes you to private homes to meet famous people.  Learn during your own Cooking Class with one of the best Chefs in Ecuador and be a guest in his personal home, where he will teach us how to prepare the famous “Humitas” and “Quimbolitos.”
 
Before ending the day’s amazing experiences, we will share and enjoy a late lunch. 
 
Surely, this trip is a sweet lover’s paradise—aptly named the “Sweets of the Gods” Tour.
