You will be picked up from your centrally-located hotel in your own private vehicle. After a short ride, you will embark on a walking tour with an experienced local guide. Centro Historico is made up of well-preserved buildings and cathedrals that helped earn its title as a UNESCO world heritage site. Some highlights include the government’s palace, the Basilica Church, and San Francisco Church.
Next, you will be driven to the Teleferico, the highest gondola in South America. Because Quito has an impressive area of 201 square miles (324 sq km), a view of the capital city this high is second to none. A ride up the mountain only takes about 10-15 minutes and the entrance fee is included.
For the last part of the tour, you will see what gave the country its name. Because Ecuador directly translates to “the Republic of the Equator,” a trip to the middle of the world is a must. Here, you will see a large monument, visit the Ethnography Museum, and stand on the equatorial line.You will be dropped off at your hotel at the end of the tour.
