Cuenca Table Food Tour with 15+ Tastings
5.0 · 1 Reviews
Overview
Most visitors come to Cuenca for its colonial architecture, cathedral domes, and UNESCO-listed streets. We'll show you the side of the city that locals experience every day - its markets. This small group food tour visits three of Cuenca's most beloved mercados, where generations of cooks, and vendors have helped shape the city's culinary identity. Along the way, we'll sample 15+ tastings ranging from traditional Andean corn dishes and slow-roasted pork to coastal specialities, market snacks, and local sweets. We'll ride Cuenca's tram between neighbourhoods, discover dishes that rarely appear on tourist menus, and learn how indigenous, Spanish, and regional influences combined to create one of Ecuador's most distinctive food cultures. From bustling market halls to family-run stalls, this is the Cuenca that exists beyond the guidebooks. With a maximum of just 8 guests, we'll explore the city through its food, stories, and traditions in a way that most visitors never experience.
