Learn about the drivers of Ecuador's banana export industry under the guidance of those leading its sustainable development — the farm owners at the Prieto family estate.
Creativity and empowerment also take center stage here, through a women's artisan project, where banana-growing by-products are transformed into stunning works of art. Witness this amalgamation of tradition and innovation — a tribute to the local community's intellect.
A divine banana-eating experience follows, featuring locally sourced organic ingredients crafted into a gourmet masterpiece. Time-honored recipes capture the freshness of recently harvested ingredients, creating a joyous symphony of local flavors.
Bid your hosts goodbye and return to the pier a little more knowledgeable about one of Ecuador's primary industries.
