Overview

On this tour, we'll take more time to discuss in detail the philosophy, culture, and life of Andean's Ecuadorian people.
We'll visit key sites and explore the walls, squares, streets, and churches that reveal what the city of the sun once was. Discover the cultural syncretism of the colonial city, with its indigenous, European, and republican roots.

Learn about the history of the various conquests that took place in Quito, as well as the city's geographical evolution through the centuries, told through Kichwa toponymy.
