Quito city tour is perfect for seeing fascinating panoramas, churches, domes and roofs that have an important historical value. You will admire and learn about colonial art, architecture, culture, legends, and traditions. Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city and stands at an altitude of 9.350 feet. Despite the 1917 earthquake, the city has the best-preserved, least altered historic Center in Latin America. The architecture and rich interiors, are pure examples of Quito School of sculpture, which is a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish and indigenous art. After four incredible hours exploring the Old Town, you'll understand why Quito was the world's first city named to UNESCO's Cultural Heritage list.
Our first stop is Basilica church. You'll see a true example of neo gothic architecture style.
The main square of the city, Plaza Grande, is surrounded by the main buildings of the country: the Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop Palace as well as the City Hall.
The Franciscan Order was the first of the orders established in Quito. Franciscans immediately began the construction of a monastery, which became a center for education and the arts and has its own painting and sculpture schools (the Church of San Francisco is visited during the tour).
You'll see a beautiful view of the whole city from the observation deck of Panecillo as well as the statue of the Winged Virgin Mary, the patroness of the city.
