This hands-on cultural experience offers genuine connection, creativity, and unforgettable memories. Enjoy a delicious three-course traditional lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients, featuring Andean grains, tubers, and ancestral recipes, served either as a communal pamba mesa or set menu. In the afternoon, visit the Casa Museo Karangue to explore ancestral history, traditional adobe construction, ancient looms, and archaeological treasures. Take part in a fun Adobe-making activity for a truly authentic touch. End your day with an overnight stay at a beautiful historic hacienda surrounded by mountains. Colonial charm, peaceful gardens, and pure Andean serenity await.

Overnight in Otavalo.
