Quito’s Historic Center

After a hearty breakfast, immerse yourself in Quito’s vibrant history with a guided exploration of its Historic Center. Begin at the Plaza de la Independencia, surrounded by architectural gems like the Metropolitan Cathedral and the gilded splendor of La Compañía de Jesús. Wander along the ‘Calle de las Siete Cruces’, a historic route that once connected ancient Inca temples on the way to the ‘Panecillo’.

Discover the Plaza San Francisco, a hub of cultural activity since pre-Inca times, where the San Francisco Church and its ornate interior house a treasure trove of religious art and history. After a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, indulge in a chocolate tasting session, savoring Ecuador’s renowned cacao.
