MERCADO LA MERCED

To taste the local specialities and to eat at low prices, go to the market of Riobamba. Here you can be lured by the sellers who will entice you with their hornado (the famous roasted pig) served with white corn. The dish to try. You will also taste smoothies concocted, it seems, with snow from the Chimborazo volcano! You feel good here, in the heart of the most traditional population of Ecuador. The first contact is sometimes complicated, but once it is taken the smiles arrive and the tongues are loosened.
