Description
THE CITY OF QUITO OFFERS ITS VISITORS HISTORY, ART, CULTURE, AND TRADITIONS WITHIN A PLURICULTURAL AND MULTIETHNIC FRAMEWORK, ANCESTRAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT
THE VISIT AT QUITO CITY AND HALF OF THE WORLD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND POPULAR TOUR IN ALL OF ECUADOR AND IT IS DUE TO ITS HISTORY, ITS ARCHITECTURE AND THE VERY DEEP TRADITIONS THAT THIS CITY OFFERS TO ITS VISITORS. AN EXCITING TOUR THROUGH ITS STREETS, SQUARES, AND CHURCHES THAT DISPLAY THE EUROPEAN INFLUENCE IN AMERICA ALONG WITH ITS NATIVE ROOTS THAT MERGED OVER THREE CENTURIES AND PRODUCED A SINGULAR ARTISTIC CURRENT UNIQUE TO THIS ANDEAN EQUATORIAL REGION.
THE CITY IS LOCATED AT 2850 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND IS SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS, SOME OF THEM USED AS VIEWPOINTS THAT ALLOW US TO DISCOVER ITS VERY TYPICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE SOUTHERN ANDES OR AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT A CITY IN THE EQUATORIAL ANDES.
NORTH OF THE CITY WE FIND THE MONUMENT TO THE EQUATORIAL LINE, ACTUALLY THERE ARE TWO, ONE HISTORICAL THAT REFERS TO THE VISIT OF "THE GEODESIC MISSION FROM FRANCE", AND THE OTHER MUSEUM WHERE IS THE HALF OF THE WORLD GEOGRAPHICALLY CALCULATED BASED ON GPS; ITS NAME IS "INTIÑAN" AND MEANS THE WAY OF THE SUN, IT MAKES REFERENCE TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ABORIGINAL GROUPS THAT POPULATED THIS LAND LONG BEFORE THE INCA ARRIVAL.
WE ENDED OUR VISIT WITH THE RETURN TO THE HOTEL FROM WHERE THE TOUR STARTED, OUR GREATEST GRATITUDE FOR HAVING CHOSEN OUR SERVICE AND THE SATISFACTION OF HAVING CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND RECREATION.
