At Pachamama Roads, we offer an exclusive journey through Ecuador’s Central Highlands, visiting iconic protected areas like Antisana, Sangay, and the Chimborazo Reserve. Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking landscapes while exploring both post-colonial and ancestral traditions—experiencing celebrations such as Pase del Niño or Inti Raymi through private presentations.

You’ll connect with Amazonian and Andean Indigenous communities: learn about rainforest life and traditions, and visit La Moya at the foot of Chimborazo to discover ancient legends and enjoy a traditional meal .

More than a trip, this is a cultural and natural immersion guided by passionate local experts.

In Ecuador’s central highlands, culture is not something preserved in museums—it’s alive, danced, sung, and cooked every day. This region is a living testament to centuries of spiritual and cultural fusion. Here, the deep-rooted reverence for Pachamama—Mother Earth—continues to guide daily life, harvests, and rituals, forming the emotional and spiritual foundation of Andean identity.

At the heart of this experience lies a powerful syncretism. The arrival of Catholicism during colonial times did not erase the ancient animist beliefs; instead, a new hybrid spirituality emerged. Today, you can witness this fusion in colorful festivals where saints share altars with mountain spirits, and Catholic processions echo pre-Columbian ceremonies. Traditions like Inti Raymi, the Andean celebration of the sun, now blend with Christian iconography, creating a rich and layered cultural tapestry that is uniquely Ecuadorian.

To travel through these lands is to understand how ancient wisdom and colonial heritage coexist—not in opposition, but as intertwined threads of identity that define the spirit of the Andes.

Discover the authentic flavors of the Ecuadorian Andes with our immersive cooking experience in Riobamba.

Before the class begins, we’ll take a guided walk through two of the city’s most iconic markets. First, we’ll visit Mercado de la Merced, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of traditional dishes like hornado (slow-roasted pork), llapingachos, banana fritters, helado de paila, and fresh juices made with ice from Chimborazo. Then we’ll head to Mercado San Alfonso, where we’ll shop for fresh, local ingredients that we’ll use in our cooking session.

At 11:00 AM, the hands-on cooking class begins. Guided by Chef Daniel Román, a passionate local cook, you'll learn to prepare classic highland dishes — and then enjoy the delicious lunch you’ve created together.
