Reisroute
Vertrekkend vanuit Cuenca is onze eerste stop in het kleine stadje San Bartolome. Hier maken ambachtslieden al generaties lang handgemaakte gitaren. We bezoeken een plaatselijke werkplaats om het proces te observeren waarbij deze instrumenten worden beschouwd als een ambacht vanwege de unieke ontwerpen en ingelegde decoraties.
Chordeleg is beroemd om zijn zilversmeden en juweliers die langs de straten en het belangrijkste plein lopen. We zullen de werkplaats van Favio Jara bezoeken, zijn familie heeft deze kunst in de stad gesticht en nu leeft de hele gemeenschap ervan. We zullen de kans krijgen om te zien hoe hij fantastische filigraan-items maakt. Daarna heb je tijd om rond te kijken en de lokale sieraden en ambachten te bekijken. Hier heb je ook de kans om ambachtslieden te zien die 'Panamahoeden' en andere artikelen van toquillastro weven. We zullen ook de werkplaats van Fernando Loja bezoeken om miniatuurkeramiek te zien die aspecten van de lokale cultuur laat zien
Onze tour gaat verder naar Gualaceo om de levendige, heldere kleuren van de markt en de interessante kleding die door de lokale vrouwen wordt gedragen te bewonderen. Hier leer je over (en proef je!) Heerlijk, net geplukt fruit dat alleen in Ecuador wordt verbouwd. Vleesliefhebbers mogen het smakelijke geroosterde varken niet missen, een heel typisch gerecht van deze streek, maar laat wel wat ruimte over voor de lunch. Dan is onze laatste stop in de werkplaats van Jose Jimenez, waar we het proces zullen zien van het weven van sjaals en poncho's op antieke weefgetouwen, met behulp van kleurstoffen die uit planten worden gewonnen. Aan het einde van deze dagtour buiten Cuenca keert u terug naar uw hotel.

This experience was unforgettable! Even though my dad’s limited movility, my family and I were able to enjoy many touristic spots in Cuenca as well as visit many places where main city’s hand-made crafts were done like jewelry, clothes, hats, and guitars. Our tour guides Adrian and Diego were very friendly and knowledgeable about Cuenca’s culture. I would definitely recommend this tour operator!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable time exploring Cuenca, and that Adrian and Diego helped make the experience both comfortable and enriching despite your dad’s limited mobility. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’ll be sure to share them with our guides. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Cuenca Bestours Team
My wife, sister and I booked a private tour with Cuenca Bestours, and Luis our English speaking guide was very good. We were able to adjust our tour so we could have more time to explore the jewelry stores in Chordelg. That is what the ladies were most looking forward to, but we enjoyed the other stops very much as well. It was an enjoyable trip that we highly recommend.
We're delighted to hear that Luis provided a great experience and that you enjoyed the flexibility of your private tour. Chordeleg is a fantastic place for jewelry lovers, and we’re glad the ladies had time to explore! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon. Safe travels! ✨😊 Cuenca Bestours Team
This was a great trip. My driver/tour guide knew the best places to go and had great advice for things to do in Cuenca. I highly recommend it.

Great tour to get to know Ecuador a little more in depth. Our guide Wilson was fantastic. Recommended 100%
Estimado Sergio, agradecemos sus comentarios. Estamos felices de saber que disfruto mucho del tour con nosotros. Gracias por su recomendación. Sera un gusto tenerlo en un proximo viaje. Team Cuenca Bestours
I really enjoyed the trip. Eddy was an amazing guide who took us to see the Artisan villages near Cuenca. We can definitely recommend Cuenca Bestours and this tour!
We're thrilled to hear you really enjoyed the day trip from Cuenca, Ecuador, and that Eddy made your experience memorable by showcasing the beautiful artisan villages. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures with Cuenca Bestours!
Our guide Eddy was very pleasant and informative. Never knew so much work went in to handmade guitars and textiles. The orchid farm was amazing! Enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way and lunch was very good.
l that you enjoyed learning about handmade guitars and textiles, and that the orchid farm and beautiful scenery added to your enjoyment. We're glad you liked the lunch as well. Cuenca Bestours Team
I can't recommend Cuenca and this tour company enough. They picked us up at the Guayaquil airport, took us on an artisanal tour of the surrounding community, organized a cooking tour with a local woman who hosted us for a lunch we cooked and a cocoa tour on the way back to the airport. Our main guide Sebastian was a wealth of local knowledge and customs of both Ecuador and Cuenca specifically. Steven, our driver, perfectly navigated the winding roads in fog and rain. I'm so happy to have had a driver as you don't need a car in the city. Javier, the owner was always prompt and allowed us to change our itinerary to better fit our interests. I definitely will be back in Cuenca as it's a beautiful mountain town that's extremely safe and fun. Plus the prices of everything are mostly half what they are in America. Language was never a barrier. I look forward to hiking Cajas National Park next time. It's breathtaking! Thanks to the crew for the memories.
We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring Cuenca and the surrounding areas with us. It’s great to know that Sebastian’s knowledge and Steven’s expert driving made your trip enjoyable and safe. We’re glad Javier could accommodate your interests and that you found Cuenca beautiful and welcoming. Thanks for choosing us and for sharing your memorable experience! Cuenca Bestours Team
Great experience! From the quick response to our initial request to the guide/driver going the extra mile to make us discover local specialties, they provided excellent service.
We're thrilled to hear that your journey with us, from the initial inquiry to the guided exploration of local specialties, was met with excellence. Our team takes pride in delivering exceptional service, and it's rewarding to know that we could contribute to making your tour memorable. Cuenca Bestours Team
We had taken a tour of the craft towns 5 years ago, but Luis ( our guide ) managed to make them seem new again, pointing out new sites and making new observations about the people and culture. We saw handmade guitars, silver jewelry, Ikat textiles, and clay figurines of local life and took a quick tour of a Gualaceo market.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that Luis was able to provide you with a fresh perspective on the craft towns, even after your previous visit five years ago. It's wonderful to know that his insights and observations added a new layer of appreciation for the local culture and craftsmanship. The handmade guitars, silver jewelry, Ikat textiles, and clay figurines are indeed treasures that beautifully represent the rich tapestry of local life. We're pleased you had the opportunity to explore the Gualaceo market as well. We appreciate your continued support and hope to welcome you back for more enriching experiences in the future. Cuenca Bestours Team
We went to the craft towels to see guitar workshop, silversmith, and weaving demonstration with additional steps at a figurine maker and a cuy farm. It was the perfect day with the great balance between learning and shopping.
