QUITO CITY TOUR

Your tour guide will pick you up at 09h00 to start an exciting adventure in the old town. He will tell you all about the history of Ecuador and Quito, the Inca Empire, the Spanish invasion and finally the independence and the republican period. We go first to see the ambitious and huge neo-gothic church, well known as the Basilica de Quito. Then we will drive down to enjoy this great tour by walking!

During our walk, we will pass through the Independence Square, scenery of many dramatic battles of revolution in the history of the Republic of Ecuador; this is the most representative spot of Quito. We will have the privilege to visit the Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Church of the Sacred Society of Jesus of Quito, summit of the Latin American Baroque Style. Finally, the charming neighborhood of La Ronda and Convent of San Francisco, built in 1540.

Then you have the opportunity to choose one of the two most beautiful natural view points of the city: El Panecillo Hill, where the winged Virgin of Quito is, which is the tallest aluminum statue of the world, or the Itchimbia Park, where the Crystal Palace is. From one of these two places you will have an incredible view of the old town, new town and south of Quito; including the amazing snowcapped volcanoes such as: Cotopaxi (5.898), Antisana (5.753) and Cayambe (5.790). We will be back in the hotel around 13h00.
