Overview of your Quito tour:

Ecuador reopened its national treasure museum after years in renovation. Ecuador's national bank is repository/curator of South America's greatest, Pre-Columbian artifacts dating back more than 3, 000 years. See the pictures I took recently opening week; HOWEVER, compared to the former museum, unfortunately, the government has elected to reduce the pieces formerly on display. It is still worth visiting but nothing like it used to be. Guayasamin, Ecuador's greatest artist, was collected by Matisse, Picasso and museums around the world. Prince Rainier and Caroline of Monaco came all the way to Quito to have Guayasamin paint a portrait before he died. The home is amazing and the museum is one of the world's finest, most beautiful, dedicated to one artist. My U. S. expatriate husband was University of Virginia educated in studio and art history and knows a thing or two on this subject. He says both Gold and Guayasamin Museums are worth a day for anyone interested in art and history. I combine the two.

Your Quito tour itinerary
