Champús is a traditional Ecuadorian beverage with a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times. This fruity concoction is made with ingredients like corn, pineapple, and naranjilla, giving it a unique and refreshing flavor. The drink is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, and its origins can be traced back to the indigenous communities of the Andean region. Today, Champús can be found in various restaurants and markets throughout Ecuador, with each chef adding their own twist by incorporating extra fruits like strawberries, papaya, and passion fruit.
