Following an early morning breakfast, get ready for a city tour starting in Quito’s old town,
Centro Histórico, declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1978. Tour Alameda Park and admire the staggering hills in which the city was founded. Walk down one of Quito’s oldest streets,
García Moreno (also known as the Street of the Seven Crosses). As you reach Quito’s main square, Independence Plaza, glance inside the Presidential Palace and
La Compañía Church, this church is considered one of the continent’s most spectacular monumental buildings. Then, continue to San Francisco Church, most famous for being the oldest Basilica in Quito and the largest religious complex in South America. The Church and monasteries in Quito are prime examples of the Baroque school of Quito, which combines Spanish, Italian, Flemish and Moorish styles with indigenous art.
After an exciting day of exploring Quito, return to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at your leisure.
