Highlights
Discover the cultural richness of Ecuador through a creative experience that unites heritage, sustainable fashion, and artisanal tradition in the heart of Quito. Toquilla straw, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is much more than a fiber: it represents a legacy of knowledge and artisanal techniques passed down from generation to generation. In this exclusive workshop at Cholonga Ecoboutique, an Ecuadorian sustainable fashion brand made with artisan women, you will get a close look at this tradition and explore the creative process with fashion designer Lissette Serrano, who will guide you to design and personalize your own hat. Enjoy snacks and drinks in an artistic and cozy environment, connect with the local culture, and take home a unique piece created by you, along with a new appreciation for Ecuadorian craftsmanship and conscious fashion. No prior experience needed: just curiosity and a desire to create.

About Quito
Quito, Ecuador's high Andean capital, has one of the best-preserved colonial centres in Latin America, ringed by volcanoes and green mountains.
The historic centre was among the very first places named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its churches, plazas and monasteries are spectacular. La Compañía de Jesús glows with gold leaf inside, the Basilica del Voto Nacional has gargoyles shaped like Ecuadorian animals, and Plaza Grande is surrounded by the cathedral and the presidential palace.
Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
