Guayaquil Markets & Museums - Half Day Tour

There's a saying I truly love about my country which is, "whatever you plant here, will grow." This is why I want you to get immersed in local culture by visiting a couple of the city's most emblematic markets. Hence, I'll take you to a culinary market so you can appreciate the enormous food diversity that Ecuador offers, and to Guayaquil's largest artisan market. Here, you'll get acquainted to local art through unique handicrafts of the highest quality. But for you to become even more familiar with our culture, you must learn about the historical importance of the coffee industry for both Ecuador and the world at large. For this, I'll take you to the Coffee Museum and contextualize you on the history of Ecuador's largest & most iconic coffee franchise. But that's not all, I'll also take you to the National Cacao Museum, so you learn about cacao's fascinating journey from its origins in the Amazon rainforest to becoming the 3rd most consumed beverage on earth.
