the visit to the Cathedral of Quito, is a must. Quito&#8217;s museums are simply extraordinary. The Man&#8217;s Chapel and the Oswaldo Guayasam\u00edn House and Foundation are the legacy of a universal artist, the size of Picasso. The private collection of the museum of pre-Columbian art, La Casa del Alabado, contains pre-Columbian pieces over 3,000 years old of stunning beauty and precision. The entire collection revolves around the mysticism and spirituality of an ancient culture unknown to most travelers.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f153eec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f153eec\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8780629\" data-id=\"8780629\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29b89eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29b89eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-7465\" src=\"http:\/\/eneasmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Restaurante-Urko-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eneasmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Restaurante-Urko-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eneasmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Restaurante-Urko-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eneasmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Restaurante-Urko-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eneasmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Restaurante-Urko.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>Haute cuisine is also slowly making its way into Quito. Daniel Maldonado is the owner and chef of the restaurant Urko, a name that means &#8220;mountain&#8221;. Trained in the kitchens of Spain, Maldonado returned to Ecuador to express a new way of understanding his country&#8217;s cuisine. In the Urko restaurant he offers some themed menus based on the &#8220;Raymis&#8221;, the ancestral celebrations that the old inhabitants of Ecuador celebrated, coinciding with the changes of season. Thus, at each time of the year, Urko&#8217;s dishes are prepared based on those local seasonal products in what is a totally sustainable gastronomic concept.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5711d04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5711d04\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29cb82c\" data-id=\"29cb82c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b33166 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b33166\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Already in the interior of the country, in Otavalo, it is possible to know the last artisan loom of the zone, since nowadays everything is imported from China. Its legendary artisan shows his cultivation of chinchillas, some insects with whose blood he obtains an intense red and purple for the dyes of his ponchos, blankets and carpets, or the dozens of flowers used to dye his sheep, alpaca and vicu\u00f1a wools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">In the neighboring town of Ibarra, a century-old estate with a large stone cross in its courtyard stands out. A 17th century colonial town turned into a luxury hotel and a foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">This agricultural and livestock production hacienda, called &#8220;Hacienda Zuleta&#8221;, is a jewel, synonymous with luxury, tradition and wildlife. It belongs to the former President of Ecuador, Galo Plaza Lasso, and inside it there are an endless number of family stories related to his cheese factory, ecological gardens, embroidery workshops and an incredible project for the conservation of condors and Andean bears directed by Jan, a French biologist already with an Ecuadorian accent after so many years in the area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">One of the best experiences at the estate is a horseback ride through the valley, where the only protagonist is the landscape, featuring nothing less than volcanoes over 6,000 meters in depth.\u00a0 Through its foundation, Hacienda Zuleta vertebrates the integration of the entire valley with projects of education, environmental conservation and local community development. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a

country&#8230; Ecuador is the second largest exporter of roses in the world, after Colombia. From the moment a rose is cut, it passes through the auction market in Amsterdam, until it reaches a flower shop in Madrid, it can take as little as 24 hours. This flower industry is changing the social structures of the Valley. The plantations only employ women, who for the first time receive a direct fixed salary and do not depend solely on the income that their husband can provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The famous &#8216;Panama hat&#8217; is 100% Ecuadorian, but it took this name because it was used in the construction of the Panama Canal. These hats, 100% of vegetable origin, are made by hand in a workshop in Quito and can cost up to 1,500 dollars for the highest quality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
