Just left Quito/Ecuador on Friday after my three week motorcycle solo tour, thanks again for all your helpful videos. I did go try Corvinas by Don Jimmy in the Mercado!
Another fantastic video. I have everything the, views for the city, the food, hotel, and the explanation where we learn a lot !!. Thank you very much. I'm sharing to All friends. Plaza San Francisco so beautiful...👍
Oh WOW! Loved this video!! The little town and venders la Plaza San Francisco the hotel/bar!! You do a great job taking us to beautiful Ecuador! Can't wait to go back to Quito now!❤❤
Very nice video. I love how descriptive you are. The hotel, walking tour, Mercado and chocolate shop look amazing. I’ll be adding Quito to places I have to visit. I look forward to your adventures and perspective. I’ll be joining your live Q&A tomorrow.
When I was there in December they had up to 70% off rooms. It was actually cheaper than a hotel room at home. Definitely check with a travel agent to see if they still have deals.
FYI, the Guittig water is from Tesalia Springs Company in Machachi, near Latacunga, south of Quito. There is a bottling plant there with natural springs of carbonated water. They Also they bottle various fruit flavored soda. Also on the grounds are two swimming pools filled with this spring water and are open to the public. Very cold but refreshing to swim in. A great place to check out. The Gangotena family were related to Camilo Ponce, who was a former president of Ecuador.
Hi Ayngelina , I'm so glad that you are back in Ecuador , and first of all I want to thank you for enjoying and loving your experience in the country that saw me grew up till I left but it is amazing that it takes someone else to show you what Ecuador is really about and enjoy the culture and the food and all that comes with it , as I see other videos from bloggers that show Ecuador and see how people are loosing they're culture and forgetting where they grow up and they're home , starting with vocabulary and other things that I have seen , but thank you for remind us what ecuador and the culture its all about . There is another Ecuadorian blogger that I also follow, Damian , like his content also. Have fun , enjoy the gastronomy and all that Ecuador has to offer 😉
I think the idea of losing culture is happening everywhere. Although certainly I think Ecuador is unique with its migration. For me I do think it's special finding things like chicha de jora just because it's so difficult to make people don't have the time anymore.
@MM CN, OMG, I so agree with you. I was brought up in the US but in the Ecuadorian way and traditions. Smal example, my father said, never say Spanish we speak Castellano. Used to be taught but they say Spanish now. Spain has about 17 languages. Castellano is one of them.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. My husband and I are planning to go very soon to Quito. You have been a great help with good information in every video. Saludos from Florida
Chicha de jora is the secret .. to make delicious 🤤 hornado , or seco de Chivo , seco de pollo, estofados , some people also make de curtido de cebolla or salsa criolla or agrio with chicha de jora .. like always love ❤️ your amazing videos 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nicely Done! "Chicha de Jora". We've not heard of nor tried this previously. Would you put it on your list of "10 mysterious drinks foodies visiting Ecuador should seek and taste"?
I'm actually going to do a drinks video soon. I just have a few more I need to find. But chicha de jora is a lost art so if you see it, get it. It takes a long time to make and many people don't want to put in the effort anymore.
@@ayngelina Sounds like another great idea! Like you, we try diligently to avoid added sugar in our drinks. We also know this often goes against the grain, but we're typically pleased to know we're not alone.
@Ayrgelina, thank you, Cacao was cultivated 1,500 years plus before it was used in what is now Mexico. Also the drink the Aztecs upper class drank is from Ecuador with the difference that everyone drank it. Many of our cultural traditions, products have been credited to other culture's and it's refreshing to see someone not from my country to be knowledgeable in the truth. Hollywood has also had a part of changing the truth, example, the Poncho. Who gets credit for it.... yes exactly. As one very intelligent person put it on the internet, we aren't brother's, we're neighbors! God bless you and keep you safe. 🙏💜🤫💜🙏
The hotel is the most expensive in Quito. But when I was there in December they were offering up tp 70% off to encourage local travel. I think there would still be lots of deals.
Don't go back up into Canada. All hell is breaking out up there. Stay South where it's safe. You know how to find great hotels to stay in. The candy looked so good. Incredible!
I was lucky that Casa Gangotena invited me to stay for two nights. It was such a treat. Although right now they have insane deals for the hotel for both foreigners and locals with cedulas.
Love Ecuador? You'll adore these Ecuador t-shirts: ecuador.myspreadshop.com/

Making me wish I had a bigger travel budget, with all these fancy perks you get!

Awesome walking tour!
The market tour was incredible.

Another place I’m being drawn too by you! 💕
Do you have a cedula yet
What a fantastic glimpse into Quito!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Not sure if you saw but I'm hosting another Livestream tomorrow at 3pm EST if you want to join.
@@ayngelina No puedo :(( I am going down to Vilca tomorrow, first trip!
@@mars54mars54 oh that's awesome. Let me know how how you like it. The market there is small but spotless and great people with good food.
Muy bonito todo me encantó ver la preparación del chocolate 🍫🖐️🙏( pero a mi me encanta el sniker canadiense)
jajajaja esta chocolate es mucho mejor!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. My husband and I are planning to go very soon to Quito. You have been a great help with good information in every video. Saludos from Florida

So exciting, where are you going to visit?
Good job

Agrio with real chicha de jora is always a treat 😍
I love your channel! I'm from Mendez, Ecuador and currently living in NYC.
Oh wow in the Amazon, I'm heading there in April. Any tips?
@@ayngelina Bring a rain poncho because it rains a lot in the Amazons and definitely bring mosquito repellent.
@@denissemorocho5484 I don't go ANYWHERE in Ecuador without a rain jacket. I basically count on rain at least once a day!
Amazing 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
Hermoso video
Gracias Kevin, hay mas de Galapagos cada dia hasta Miercoles.
Without a doubt , i prefer chocolates, my great passion ...looks delicious
Haha! Love chocolate!
Nice video
Thanks Henry.
En Peru también se hace la chicha de Jora y se usa para cocinar
Claro y a veces en Colombia y creo que Bolivia también?
Nicely Done! "Chicha de Jora". We've not heard of nor tried this previously.

Thank you so much for the kind words 💜
Quito is so beautifull especially in the colonial area an d panecillo view is esplendid how much was the hotel any deal ???
The hotel is the most expensive in Quito. But when I was there in December they were offering up tp 70% off to encourage local travel. I think there would still be lots of deals.
Don't go back up into Canada. All hell is breaking out up there. Stay South where it's safe. You know how to find great hotels to stay in. The candy looked so good. Incredible!
No plans to go back until June.
@@ayngelina Relax and enjoy yourself in fine hotels while eating delicious foods in wonderful places. And making more videos too!
Love the video, however I miss the map and prices information that you use to give us.
I'll keep that in mind for the next couple videos that if I don't include it on screen I need to mention it on camera.
I love the hat girl
Aww thanks. I got it in Otavalo.
@@ayngelina it looks really good on you
@@henryle1940 thank you, when I watched the video today I started to have doubts. I've never worn hats other than winter ones in Canada
Ecuador travel + food videos here --> bit.ly/Ecuador_Videos Where should I go next?
Hmmmmm
A residential area in salinas
@@headlinesgenerator5426 you can find my Salinas video here: th-cam.com/video/aViGrjLZfJ4/w-d-xo.html
@@ayngelina thanks
A million
The most expensive places!!
I was lucky that Casa Gangotena invited me to stay for two nights. It was such a treat. Although right now they have insane deals for the hotel for both foreigners and locals with cedulas.
Nice hotel but $425 (cheapest) a night? No para mi.😂
That is thelist price. Check with a travel agent, especially if you have a cedula.
Quito was capital of isn't
Capital of Ecuador, yes.
