DAY 1: Quito – Iglesia de la Compañía – Panecillo – Intiñan Museum – Papallacta
Our tour begins at approximately 8:00 AM at the designated meeting point. We will first visit the Basilica del Voto Nacional, a neogothic religious building in Quito's historic center.
Next, we will head to the historic center and visit Plaza Grande, the main square of the capital, the political and historical center of Ecuador, and the symbolic seat of the President of Ecuador. Located at 2818 m.a.s.l. (9,245 ft.), its main feature is the Independence Monument, dedicated to the heroes of the August 10th, 1809 independence movement.
We will then visit the Iglesia de la Compañía, one of the city's major tourist attractions and an invaluable artistic and economic heritage for the country. You will be able to enter the church and appreciate its rich architecture and interior decoration, entirely covered in gold leaf.
Following this, we will visit San Francisco Plaza, the largest square in Quito's historic center, dominated by the impressive façade of the San Francisco Church and Convent. This area has been a significant urban landmark since colonial times, with its central fountain providing water to residents for centuries.
We will conclude our historic center tour with a visit to the Panecillo, a natural elevation at 3,000 m.a.s.l. (9,842 ft.). It is the city's most important natural viewpoint, offering a panoramic view of Quito's urban layout, from the historic center to the northern and southern extremes.
At around 12:30 PM, we will head to a typical restaurant in the historic center for a delicious lunch. At approximately 2:30 PM, we will arrive at Mitad del Mundo, an iconic site in Ecuador, as the country is named after the Equator, the imaginary line dividing the planet into the northern and southern hemispheres. Here, you can visit the Intiñan Museum, offering an interactive tour showcasing the history of our ancestral peoples and the magnificent effects of the sun in our solar cylinder.
