Our journey begins at approximately 7:30 AM at the designated meeting point for this tour. We will head north of the city, and after about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will arrive at QUITSATO, a large 52-meter (170 Ft.) diameter solar clock made from a grand stone mosaic that marks the different lines of the solstices and equinoxes, as well as the hours of the day. These are indicated by the shadow projection of a 10-meter (32 Ft.) tall post located exactly in the center of this large circular platform.
