Last week, we had the opportunity to attend a cooking class at the Holiday Inn Quito Airport
The class was hosted by Oscar Santacoloma, owner of Restaurante Irati, where we learned how to make traditional paella 🥘

Paella is a typical Spanish dish, but in Ecuador, the incredible influence of local cuisine and the fusion with local ingredients make it a perfect way to enhance and combine Ecuadorian flavors 🇪🇨

A huge thank you again to Holiday Inn for the invitation! 💚Sharing, connecting, and growing together strengthens our bonds and helps boost the tourism sector 🙌

🌿 A rare Andean tapir was recently spotted near Quito, and it’s a beautiful reminder of Ecuador’s incredible biodiversity 💚🇪🇨

Known as the “architect of the forest” the tapir plays an important role in keeping cloud forests alive and thriving.
