We visited this as part of a Quito tour and it was our favorite stop. Beautiful inside and outside. It has a mystical, serene aura.

It's definitely not a museum. We had to pay 6$ (!!) for the entry only to enter a sale store in very nice and exciting exterior and interior. Inside we were shown a two nice experiments then the rushed sales tour started. I really liked the explanation about essential oils, but for this I don't go into a 'museum'. The 2. and 3. floor are art galleries, here again for sale as well. Outside a room to buy some other stuff (coca tea, marijuana oil,...) In total I was disappointed. This is definitely not a historical site, it is made to look like it, not more. A look from the outside of the building is enough.

They charge $6 for foreigners. Way too much (even more than Mitad del Mundo which charges $5).

$3 to get in..some interesting facts are shared. They have guides that speak English, which is great. They translate everything they said in Spanish..meaning they have to say it twice in a different languge.i have trouble thinking of a word in one language I bet they don't wanna talk to anybody when they get off work.
