Show was great, Viator wasn’t helpful on how to get tickets
The show is held at a old “bull ring” but not outside, it was under the seating area of the transitional seats of the bull ring, so inside. It was a small room & pretty hot. VIator want detailed in how to get your tickets and we thought you had to go ahead of time to pick them up, we did and they were closed. Just just up that night and your James is on a list, no bar code scanner. As others mentioned, it was a great show!!

Fantastic show if you...
Fantastic show if you enjoy cultural/traditional dance and music. Very professional dancers - dances are expertly performed, perfectly together. Loved the show
via Viator
Well done
Excellent show. If you are a fan of theater and dance this is for you. The show was well choreographed with attention to detail. The performers seemed to love what they do with much appreciation for Ecuadorian culture.

a wonderful evening
We 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
The 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

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jacchigua Show in Quito: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Jacchigua Show in Quito cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jacchigua Show in Quito take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Jacchigua Show in Quito worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jacchigua Show in Quito?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Jacchigua Show in Quito suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jacchigua Show in Quito?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jacchigua Show in Quito start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Jacchigua Show in Quito?
