During my first year in Ecuador, I lived in the village of Challuabamba. I loved my life there. Let me take you on a morning tour of my favorite spots.
Let’s start with a visit to the Museo de la Gastronomia, which is about more than just food. There, you can discover the treasures this place holds, such as its beautiful gardens, its huge antique warehouse, meet all the animals that live there, enjoy the café and restaurant, explore the new craft workshop, and much more!
Next, we will visit Maria-Augusta at her shop, where she sells kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, and apple cider vinegar, all made naturally by her. She also sells all kinds of natural foods in bulk.
Next, we will visit Rocío and Eduardo’s lovely home. They are true flea market and antique enthusiasts. They spend their time hunting for treasures to resell. you can even ask them to find a specific item for you. They also have plenty of plants for sale.
We will wrap up at Andrés’s bakery, where he and his family bake sourdough bread as well as other pastries and treats.
Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to see photos and videos from the visit.
