Quito Walking Tour
Having picked you up from your hotel in Quito at 8:30 am, we will set off on our full tour of Ecuador's capital. Our first stop will be the Quito Market to experience the charm and tastes of the city. We will then proceed to the Basílica del Voto Nacional to admire the façade of this well-known neo-Gothic religious building.
Next, we will walk through the historic center towards the Plaza Grande, observing the exterior of the Cathedral of Quito, the Carondelet Palace, and the Municipal Building. We will visit the Church of La Compañía and the Church of San Francisco, noted for its colonial architecture.
In the Plaza Grande, we will taste chocolate made with Ecuadorian cocoa. Then, we will visit the La Casa del Alabado Museum to explore a collection of pre-Hispanic art and Ecuadorian archaeology.
We will walk to Morales St, known as La Ronda, featuring colorful colonial-style houses. A local restaurant will offer a chance to try a typical Ecuadorian dish.
After lunch, we will go to the Panecillo Viewpoint for views at more than 10,000 ft (3,000 metres) above sea level. At 2:30 pm, we will drop you off back at your hotel, concluding the tour.
