Latam Airlines Ecuador presents "Flavors that Transport"

LATAM Airlines Ecuador has introduced a new edition of its "Sabores que Transportan" program, an in-flight dining initiative designed to connect travelers with the culinary identity of South America. This program features dishes developed in collaboration with renowned chefs from the region.

For this edition, Ecuador is represented by chef Juan Sebastián Pérez, founder of the restaurant Quitu. Pérez is recognized for his gastronomic approach, which exclusively utilizes Ecuadorian ingredients sourced from the Sierra, Costa, Amazonía, and Galápagos regions. His participation underscores LATAM's commitment to showcasing Ecuador's culinary richness to international passengers.

"Sabores que Transportan" is part of LATAM's strategy to enhance the passenger experience by integrating authentic flavors that reflect the cultural diversity of the countries where the airline operates. The company aims for each dish to tell a story, creating an experience that links passengers to the places of origin.

Mónica Fistrovic, CEO of LATAM Airlines Ecuador, stated, "At LATAM, we believe that traveling is also an opportunity to highlight cultures, stories, and traditions. Through 'Sabores que Transportan,' we want thousands of passengers to discover Ecuador's gastronomic wealth from the moment they board our flights." She added that the airline is proud to work with talents like Juan Sebastián Pérez to present Ecuadorian ingredients, recipes, and flavors on an international stage, contributing to Ecuador's positioning as a gastronomic reference in the region.

Selected dishes for this edition include "Osobuco de cordero con salsa de carne y naranjilla, acompañado de arroz especiado y ensalada de aguacate, tomate y canela" (Lamb shank with meat and naranjilla sauce, served with spiced rice and avocado, tomato, and cinnamon salad), "Ceviche de camarón con mucílago de cacao y corviche costeño con alioli de salprieta" (Shrimp ceviche with cocoa mucilage and coastal corviche with salprieta alioli), and "Encocado de camarón y atún rojo" (Shrimp and red tuna encocado). These dishes will be available on select international flights operated by LATAM Airlines Ecuador from Quito and Guayaquil.
