What you can expect

The tour is focused on giving you an idea of the political, cultural and economic formation of the territory you are visiting, talking about the strongest cultural influences that the territory has had throughout its history, as well as its socio-cultural construction up to the current politics.
On this tour, we'll take more time to talk the philosophy, culture, and life of Andean's Ecuadorian people.
We'll visit key sites and explore the walls, plazas, streets, and churches that reveal what the city of the sun once was. Discover the cultural syncretism of the colonial city, with its indigenous, European, and republican roots.

Learn about the history of the various conquests that took place in Quito, as well as the city's geographical evolution through the centuries, told through Kichwa toponymy.

Enjoy this tour, which, in addition to providing a broad overview of ancestral knowledge, aims to raise awareness of the relationship between human beings and Mother Earth.

Additionally, if you're looking for recommendations on what to visit in the city or country, I can help you with suggestions to optimise your time, as well as the best recommendations for experiencing traditional cuisine that will please your palate.
