QUITO AND THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD IN ONE DAY

 If you only have one day in Quito and want to see the city's highlights, we suggest a one-day tour of the Middle of the World and Quito's Historic Center.

On this tour, we'll travel to the Lulumbamba Valley, now known as San Antonio de Pichincha, to admire the Rumicucho Ruins. Then we'll visit the Pululahua Volcano Crater, a unique place in the world where people live inside the caldera, dedicating themselves to agriculture and tourism. We'll experience life at the Middle of the World by visiting the Intiñan Interactive Museum. Next, we'll travel approximately 50 minutes to the top of El Panecillo, one of the best viewpoints overlooking much of the city, where we'll see the world's largest aluminum statue of the Virgin Mary. Finally, we'll visit the Basilica of the National Vow, where we'll witness the blending of indigenous and Catholic spirituality.

We will walk down Calle de las Siete Cruces until we reach Plaza de la Independencia, where we can observe the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Quito. We will walk towards the Sagrario and then enter one of the most beautiful churches in the Americas, the Church of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Golden Church. We will then walk to the Plaza and Church of San Francisco and end our tour by visiting one of the most traditional streets of colonial Quito, La Ronda. At the Santo Domingo Plaza, we can take transportation back to our accommodation.
