My Quito Hotel organized a walking tour of Quito in all the unexpected places.
Casa Gangotena is in a former mansion on famous San Francisco Plaza in the heart of the historic district. It may be luxury but they also connect you to the non-touristy side of Quito Ecuador!
Thanks so much to Casa Gangotena for inviting me to explore their hotel and also share an incredible experience with Metropolitan Touring who partnered with Caminos San Roque, taking us to their neighbouring San Roque market and businesses on a walking tour of Quito.
We would have never known where to find Chica de Jora, the local businesses and an incredible chocolate experience.
Quito is such an amazing city with so much to offer. This is a boutique hotel but they are really integrated into the community.
More information on the hotel:

And they can arrange custom tours with Metropolitan Touring:

And Caminos San Roque doesn't have an active Facebook page or website but it's a community project aimed at supporting local business. It was AWESOME! If you just want to do the tour try contacting Casa Gangotena or Metropolitan Touring who support these local programs.

// MORE ABOUT ME!//
Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.
