Summary: The show ranks with the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. The talent, colours, culture, people, music, it is amazing, worth it 100% This really opens you up to the beauty of the Andean culture right down to wishing you could be part of it. They all look so happy during the show, smiling so confidently, it is just magic. They blend the costumes, the colours with their movements so perfectly, I wish I could see it again and again. And the musicians providing the music is world class. Every single person in this has unbelievable talent. This will count as the highlight of my trip to Quito and I will never forget it. The dinner after the show takes you to a place with very friendly staff and also nice traditional Ecuadorian food, which is always important to me when I travel. This show is perfect, I would not change anything and I recommend it to anyone wanting a rich heartwarming cultural experience.
