We warmly welcome you to Cacao Experience, a space where history, tradition, and the senses come together to provide an unforgettable experience. Located in the heart of Quito's colonial streets, this experience takes place in an authentic heritage house in La Loma Grande, a place full of history and charm.
To start this journey, you'll enjoy a moment of relaxation and wellness with a hand massage accompanied by an exfoliation and hydration with cacao essential oil, a ritual designed to awaken the senses and prepare you to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of cacao.
Next, you'll learn about the history and process that transforms the cocoa bean into one of the most prized chocolates in the world. You'll learn about the importance of Ecuadorian cocoa, internationally recognized for its quality and aroma, while learning about its origins, cultivation, and artisanal production.
During the tour, you'll be able to taste cocoa in its different forms: cocoa beans, hot chocolate, fondue with marshmallows, craft cocoa beer, cocoa liqueur, and other exquisite preparations made with fine cocoa with an Ecuadorian aroma.
As part of this unique experience, you'll also learn about the ancient "drink of happiness," a preparation inspired by the traditions of pre-Columbian cultures, and discover why cocoa was considered the "food of the gods" for centuries.
More than a food tasting, Cacao Experience is a sensory journey that invites you to connect with the history, culture, and extraordinary flavors of one of Ecuador's most iconic products.
