Dear International Living Reader,
If you want to experience Ecuador, take the Ecuador Ethnogastronomic Tour and revel in the discovery of little known villages where ancient truths and secrets are alive and well.
Over the course of eight days this expedition introduces travelers to the native people of the Ecuadorian Andes with visits to four indigenous communities. You'll get to share in their unique customs, taste their traditional foods, delve into their knowledge of medicinal plants, and meet the shamans. After you experience the deep rituals and proud traditions of the medicine men and walk through their sacred gardens, you will be changed forever.
You will also get to explore the colonial cities of Quito and Cuenca and experience the spectacular natural beauty of the high Andes.
There are special departure dates for International Living readers: March 27, June 17, and Sept. 23. Even better, International Living members will receive a free city tour in Guayaquil as a courtesy of Columbus Travel. The price per person for the tour is $1,100.
