Quito Old Town + Middle of the World Tour

Private Tour

We will start with a panoramic route among the banking and financial areas, shopping malls, and La Mariscal neighbourhood, where most of the hotels are located.

We will continue towards the historical center of the city where the following attractions will be visited: El Panecillo, a beautiful hill from where you will admire the colonial and modern Quito ; San Francisco and La Basilica churches ; and Plaza de la Independencia (Independence Square). We will walk through the colonial streets and visit the Cathedral, the Government’s Palace, and La Compañía Church, where adornments and gold altars can be appreciated.

We will continue to the northern part of the city, towards the Middle of the World City, where we will observe the monument that divides the Northern from the Southern hemisphere. It was built during the 17th century when a French Expedition defined the precise location of the equatorial line. Finally, you will have an optional visit, either to Intiñan or Ethnographic Museum.
