A full day to acquaint yourself with the very best sites of the city of Quito.
In the morning you will enjoy a guided tour of the colonial highlights in the historical city center, including a visit to the impressive Basilica, the famous Plaza de Independencia, the San Francisco Church and other historical sites. You’ll walk the cobble stone streets, admire the architecture and observe local life at the old plazas.
After lunch we head north to the Equator line monument called Mitad del Mundo - stand literally in the middle of the world! We also visit the unique Inti Ñan museum where you can prove (or disprove) various scientific phenomena that only hold true at the equator. Don´t forget to take your passport along if you want a special equator stamp in it!
- This tour can run on any day of the year, but is not recommended on Mondays when most churches & museums are closed.
