They say that to truly know a city, you have to try it .

That's why, on this Free Walking Gastronomic Tour of La Mariscal and La Floresta , Kunakkuna Experiences invites you to savor Quito street by street, bite by bite . It's not just any tour... it's a journey where every step whets your appetite and every dish tells you a secret.

We'll begin among the colorful streets of La Mariscal , a neighborhood steeped in history in its murals and filled with irresistible aromas. Here, you'll discover how tradition blends with creativity in dishes ranging from ancestral recipes to surprising fusions. We'll taste:

  • Mote with chicharrón – a classic from the Ecuadorian highlands, with soft white corn and crispy chicharrón, served with that homemade touch that makes it unique (approx. $2.50) .

  • Contemporary Encebollado – traditional albacore fish soup with yuca and pickled onion, presented in a modern style (approx. $2.50) .
  • Renewed Tigrillo – a mix of green plantain, egg, cheese and onion, combining tradition and modernity (approx. $3.00) .


We'll continue to La Floresta , a cultural epicenter where galleries, urban art, and cafes intertwine. Here you'll try:


  • Local Salchipapas – Ecuadorian version of this street favorite, accompanied by homemade salsas (approx. $2.50) .
  • Craft Beer Tasting – locally brewed with traditional ingredients and methods (approx. $3.50) .
  • Ice cream with cheese – a sweet and salty combination that surprises all palates (approx. $2.50) .
