It’s all about the good vibes at Gulliver Expeditions.

We can’t let our travelers have all the fun! Exciting new programs and adventures are our passion,
however, while we are waiting to travel again, travel from home with exotic flavors and activities you
can try it out at home!

You can also get ready for your future travel after quarantine by learning what you need for your
trekking and climbing programs with our instructional videos and recommendations.

Cooking Classes: Banana Cake	Cooking Classes: Corn Bread
Did you know Ecuador has over 300 varieties of bananas grown all over the country? Take some tips from Paulina, one of our operational managers, and learn how to make your very own banana cake. Check your bananas, maybe they came from Ecuador!	Corn is a staple of Ecuadorian foods and dishes. Corn is grown in the Ecuadorian Andes, you can see fields and pastures when traveling through the Avenue of the Volcanoes; also where Hosteria Papagayo is located. We will visit Papagayo’s kitchen for an exclusive visit with the chef to make your very own cornbread, just like its been done for generations here in the highlands.

Sugar Cane Extraction	Fun at Home: Constellation Lanterns
Visit Jahaira in Puerto Maldonado as she shows us the process of sugar cane extraction. This is a unique look at a popular delicacy in the coastal areas and how it can be made into a drinkable refreshment. Sugar cane, fresh from the fields, is a healthy source of energy before it is processed into sugar or “panela”.	The great thing about star-gazing, it can be done anywhere in the world! Join Katie, our Sales Supervisor who will show us how to light up our homes and do some star-gazing of our own. This is a great activity to get younger kids interested in constellations and the night sky. Who knows, study them at home long enough with this fun project and you’ll be able to point out the constellations in the southern hemisphere during one of our treks.

Custard from Paris	Cooking Classes: Llapingachos
Join Jeremy, our Sales and Operations Manager, as he gives us a taste of his home, from France. In Spanish, we call this a flan, in other parts it is also known as a custard. No matter what it is called, it is delicious and it’s our way of sharing a bit of ourselves with you during the Covid-19 quarantine. We are in this together!	In the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes lies the Hosteria Papagayo. They invited us in for a closer look to see how the traditional dish of Ecuadorian Llapingachos is made. Make it at home, then try it for yourself when you visit Ecuador after quarantine!
