Quito and Surrounding

In the Andes Mountains, at an elevation of 2800 meters, you'll find the Franciscan city of Quito, whose principal characteristic is its friendly inhabitants. Quito extends an invitation to you to discover its modern and historical treasures, the same that have charmed Quiteños and visitors alike for centuries. In honor of these treasures the city has been declared a "Cultural World Heritage Site" by UNESCO.

Quito - City tour

Tours explore the colonial and modern districts: beginning with the Balcony Of Quito, then to the Legislative Palace, the Colonial Hall, and the city's center- the Plaza of Independence. We'll see the Palace of Carondelet, the Government seat, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Temples of the Company, San Francisco Cathedral, and the watchtower "El Panecillo," with a panoramic view of Quito.

Nocturnal - Quito

This ride is a perfect way to spend a dreamlike evening. Quito's lights give each corner, square, street, monument, and window of the Colonial areas a very special glow. This unforgettable night concludes with a dinner and a folkloric presentation in a typical Ecuadorian restaurant.
