5.00We were lucky to have the opportunity to see the Jacchigua show, which we can highly recommend to anyone. They show ten dances of different areas in Ecuador and there is a detailed introduction speech before each halves of the show. It is in Spanish but one of us did not understand Spanish but equally enjoyed the show. The original costumes are so beautiful and the dancers perform the dances with a lot of energy and love to the live music of four musicians. Most of the audience seemed to be from Ecuador. We recommend it warmly to tourists visiting Quito. The show is marvellous and no wonder it has won so many prizes!
great show but the overall service transfer and food was very poor

4.00The show itself was fantastic But the transfer for 7 of us asked for an extra $40 per person at the last minute saying we were out of the catchment area, this was not obvious on viator, we negotiated this down to $90 for 7 the welcome cocktail was a shot there were no drinks during the show at all not even water and if you order the food package expect to eat at 22:30 at a different place they take you after the show. My advice would be eat before the show and don't buy the transfer or food package, get an Uber Instead. But the show itself was 5 star everything else was 1 star hence my score of 3
