Travel Beyond Sight: How Sensory Tourism is Transforming Ecuador

What if you experienced a destination without relying on your eyes?In this inspiring episode of the Veggies Abroad Podcast, Rebecca sits down with Lis Ramirez, from Quinti, a regenerative travel company in Ecuador creating immersive sensory experiences that go far beyond traditional tourism.Quinti designs experiences that invite travellers to slow down and connect through all of their senses, not just sight. By working with blind sensory guides and local communities, their tours encourage deeper cultural understanding, meaningful human connection, and a more inclusive way to explore the world.Lis shares the personal story behind Quinti, including how her grandfather inspired her passion for travel, empathy, and inclusion. What began as an idea rooted in connection has grown into a powerful movement that blends accessibility, community collaboration, and regenerative tourism.From farm to table experiences in the mountains to sensory dining, local markets, and artisan workshops, these journeys are designed to help travellers feel a place, not just see it.Find out more about Quinti at https://www.quintiec.comLearn more and book your own vegan adventure: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.veggiesabroad.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Don’t forget to check Instagram for photos from the trip!Want to join a future adventure?
