Itinerary
Teleferico (cable car)
We will ascend via the Teleférico to the foothills of the Pichincha Volcano to enjoy a hike along high-altitude trails. The experience includes a stop at the famous swing, where you can sway above the clouds with a breathtaking view of the city beneath your feet.
The Basilica of the National Vow
Admire the stunning facade of the Basilica del Voto Nacional, Ecuador’s most significant work of Neo-Gothic architecture. During this stop, we will appreciate the intricate details inspired by the country’s unique wildlife and the building's monumental scale, which provides one of the most iconic views of the Historic Center.
Independence Square
Explore the historical and civic heart of the capital. As you admire the monuments commemorating independence and the imposing architecture, such as the Archbishop’s Palace, your guide will help you appreciate the daily life of local residents and will share colonial legends that add intrigue to the surrounding areas of the plaza.
The Golden Church
Discover a true jewel of colonial Baroque art. Widely considered the finest example of this style in South America, it boasts a dazzling interior where gold leaf covers every detail, offering a truly breathtaking visual experience.
San Francisco Church
Discover one of the earliest and most significant colonial-era buildings in Quito, a monumental testament to the city’s rich history. As you explore its vast and storied architecture, step into a space filled with local legends and admire the colonial art that continues to endure in this emblematic site.
El Panecillo
We’ll head to this iconic viewpoint to take in a sweeping panorama of Quito. From here, you can clearly see the contrast between the Historic Center and the modern city. Standing at the feet of the imposing Virgin of Quito, the most prominent symbol of Ecuadorian Catholicism, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the city's cultural and spiritual identity.
