Descripción
Immerse yourself in an exclusive experience tailored for you and your loved ones with this private tour of Quito. Discover the enchanting capital of Ecuador!
Description
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Quito, setting the stage for your private exploration of Ecuador's capital. The itinerary opens at the National Basilica of Quito, renowned for its location in the heart of the historic district.
Commonly referred to as the Basilica of the National Vow, this majestic cathedral, built from grey stone, stands as one of the city's most important landmarks and is notable for its unique architectural style and size. Did you know it holds the distinction of being the largest neo-Gothic temple in the Americas? During our visit, we will venture inside to appreciate its grand interior, colorful stained-glass displays, and the impressive heights of its twin spires.
As we navigate the historic alleys of Quito's old town, our next destination will be the Plaza de la Independencia, affectionately termed Plaza Grande. Here, before the Independence Monument, we will pause to consider this significant moment in Ecuador's past. We will subsequently admire the Government Palace's façade before heading inside the Church of the Society of Jesus for further exploration.
As we marvel at the facade of La Compañía, a striking aspect stands out. The main temple's exterior, carved from volcanic stone, sets it apart as a remarkable baroque church in the region. To uncover why it is celebrated as the "jewel of America," we will visit the central nave, where every element is embellished with gold, creating a truly mesmerizing atmosphere!
To conclude our tour, we will ascend to the Panecillo viewpoint, a spectacular location that commands breathtaking views of Quito. With these unforgettable sights etched in your memory, we will finish our 4-hour journey and return you to your hotel.
