Chocolate & Art Tour in Quito | Travel Blog
Sep-27-2021
The late OSWALDO GUAYASAMIN is Ecuador's most celebrated artist.
His fantastically eccentric house—in a chic neighborhood in Quito, perched high above the city—has been converted into an art museum. For anyone visiting Ecuador, it is a must-see.
Where do we come in? Our job is to bring the chocolate. What would a trip to Ecuador be without a proper chocolate tasting?
To'aks Chocolate & Art Experience combines two quintessentially Ecuadorian treasures into a singular experience in the nation's capital of Quito.
- Private tour of Guayasamin's home and art gallery, guided by an art specialist from the museum.
- Followed by a tasting and pairing of To'ak chocolate in Guayasamin's private wine cellar, where he once hosted the likes of Fidel Castro, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Prince of Monaco, and the King of Spain. Guided by a chocolate specialist from To'ak.
