From Old town to Equator line
Overview of your Quito tour
The highest capital city in the World it was called by aboriginals "God's Face" and "Middle of the World", then was "the Monastery of America" by the Spaniards, nowadays "World Heritage" by UNESCO. Let's walk around the colonial area, admire the gold Church, the incredible Basilica and our virgin statue of Quito where we can try a local snack. To continue to the view point of a mega Volcano Pululahua and admire its crater. Then to the Equator line museums to feel its energy plus other experiments totally awesome! Finally we go back to Quito.
