Loja Ecuador Food: 10 Awesome Things to Eat!
Loja Ecuador has some of the best food in the country - La Comida Lojana. There are some dishes like chaunfaina, cecina and the Lojano Tamal that you'll want to travel for.
Loja is the last city in Ecuador before the Peruvian border. This is considered the cultural capital of Ecuador. It's famous for its musicians and artists and it was also the first Green City in Ecuador with a very aggressive recycling program.
It's a beautiful city, colonial style similar to Cuenca but it's smaller. And also I'm here to check out the Comida Lojana. So Loja has some specific dishes here that are really good. Number one, I'm here for the coffee.
The tamal Lojano is a bit different here. So traditional Ecuador food uses a tamal made with maiz sabroso which is a corn starch based flour. But the tamal Lojano uses a different dough so it's actually just ground corn. So similar to humitas but in that case it's actually the sweet corn called choclo.
At the Tamal Lojano they have three different kinds of tamales. You can get chicken, pork, or also quesillo, which is a fresh cheese.
Mercato Central Commercial in Loja and there were so many things that I want to eat here. I came to this one spot Comedor 413 because it had so many people here. I came for chaunfaina and then also a bit of the cecina.
Chaunfaina is rice that's cooked with a sofrito, but the most important thing is they actually use offal. All of the innards of the pig that would normally be thrown out. And this is a side dish that you'll get, I got it with cecina.
Ecuadorian horchata is a drink that's made with different herbs, often some kind of pink flower petal to give it its color. You can drink it in the market even though you can't drink water here because it is boiled. So I do feel comfortable drinking that. It almost tastes like a pink lemonade here.
I came to Loja to eat two different soups both called repe, which means unripe banana. So in Loja they have the smallish banana that you can eat ripe. And that's how the rest of the country eats it. Or in Loja they also eat it unripe. Which is very unusual for other Ecuadorians because the unripe banana they might feed their livestock.
So these two different soups are interesting because the repe con arveja con guineo is like a kind of like a split pea soup and then it also has cubes of this unripe banana that is uncooked. So this is raw unripe banana in this repe.
Another Ecuadorian soup: repe blanco, boiled green banana, pound it into a mash, mixed with potato and quesillo.
There's an Ecuadoran custom that if you go to Loja, you must stop off for some sweets or dulces in the market. Traditional sweets from Loja are rustic, they're made with sugar cane, molasses, simple ingredients.
Some traditional options are bocadillo, so it's a square of molasses made with peanuts. It's the signature sweet of Loja. You can also get peanuts covered with sugar, fig in syrup. You can also get roscon.
I think the best thing to do actually is just to get the mixed bag because then you're bound like one of them.
When traveling in Loja if you can't get everywhere in the province head to Somos Loja off the main square, which is a cooperative artisanal shop that also has an incredible coffee shop in Ecuador selling 19 types of coffee from Loja. And you can try 10 of the coffees from Loja for $1/cup.
Emporio Lojana is such a great spot with coffee, food, artisanal beer, but also the coolest thing is the signature drink trino, which means something that will make you sing. It means tweet.

24 Blissful Hours in Vilcabamba Ecuador | Loja Province
One day in the Valley of Longevity in southern Ecuador. The best things to do in Vilcabamba Ecuador besides Cerro Mandango.
A lot of people here live to be over 100 years old. It's also become one of the best places to retire in Ecuador and there is a big expat community in Vilcabamba as it's an affordable place to retire.
The market is a great place to start, impeccably clean and often using organic food. Not because it is certified but because there is a lot of organic farming in Vilcabamba.
We ate a typical Ecuadorian breakfast food called tigrillo. That is mashed green plantains, quesillo cheese, which is fresh, and then egg.
So we're tying two different plates. One is the beef and short ribs tigrillo. The other one is seco de pollo, which means dry chicken. Seco de costilla, so ribs again, in a sauce even though they say it’s seco, which means dry.
We just walked 8000 steps so we stopped at Zara Brewing Company. It's been around since 2013, right off the main square. This is the third brewery I have seen today so far. I am having the agave wheat ale. It's an amber color but actually tastes quite light. Kind of citrusy with a little bit of bitter taste on the end but not too much. The owner is American and he has these crazy photos of Putin on the inside as a joke to one of his friends who's Russian.
Staying the night at Hosteria El Descanso del Toro ( and what an amazing place. I love the natural wood, the open air, and the views of the mountains in Vilcabamba are amazing.
So in southern Ecuador if you stay at a hosteria it means there’s also a pool. And it tends to be in natural areas. So people want to go hiking for the day, go out into nature. And then they want to come back and just relax by the pool. And so this spot has a brewery, a restaurant and a fantastic hotel.
It's also home to Cerveceria Wilco, an Ecuadorian craft beer company. They are one of two artisanal beer companies in Ecuador that offer beer in cans - which is very different for Ecuador as many locals prefer bottles.
They have a great approach, experimenting with local flavours like mora or blackberry and it's fantastic.
(
We took some beer down to Rio Chamba. And a lot of locals believe that this is the secret to longevity. You can see someone here, just in the water in her hair and hands.
They believe that if you dip your toes in or swim in it. I guess the more water you get the better. That you will live for a long age.
The weather is perfect here. I actually now see why so many people move here. It's warm but windy but arid. This is the kind of place that you could fall in love with for sure.

Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.

ECUADOR'S MOST FAMOUS EXPAT TOWN! (Vilcabamba Ecuador Pros & Cons)
Join Our Community of Unconventionals today and get 2 months FREE on the annual plan! See all the benefits of joining the inner circle here:
Vilcabamba Ecuador has been popular with expats for a long time. It's a quaint mountain town that sits in a valley surrounded by beautiful panoramic views.
It was originally considered for inclusion in the list of Blue Zones, which are areas around the world where people live exceptionally long.
However, it didn't make the final cut because the birth records for the oldest people couldn't be verified. Learn more about the Blue Zones here:
Its omission from the final list didn't stop the belief that Vilca is a valley of longevity, which is one reason expats have flocked there over the past 15 years.
We've travelled to the most popular expat areas all over Ecuador, but Vilcabamba has by far the largest concentration of expats that we've seen.
If you want to live in a beautiful small mountain town with nice weather and lots of expats, Vilca might be the place for you. If you prefer fewer expats, but want a similar living experience, you might prefer Malacatos, Landangui, Yangana or one of the other small towns near Vilca.
Are you planning a move to Ecuador? We created the Ecuador Expat Fast Track eCourse to make your move abroad as easy and painless as possible. It has 63 videos with tons of written content that will walk you through every step from A-to-Z. We even have a downloadable move abroad checklist and a city comparison matrix that will help you choose the perfect location based on what's important to you.
