About this trip

 This tour takes us to the old colonial town where we will travel to a  time in which people used to meet around plazas and walked through  narrow streets.
We will start it in the morning picking you up from your hotel before continuing to the Old town (Colonial part of Quito).
We will admire the colonial architecture of old Quito and its churches.  We will walk around Plaza Grande (Independence square), the Jesuit  church “La Compañia, The oldest neighborhood of old Quito “La Ronda” and  Plaza San Francisco and its Church.
Next we move to the Equator line, the Middle of the World. But before  arriving we will stop in one of the restaurants to try a traditional  Ecuadorian lunch. The equator line monument is located at 30 – 45  minutes north of Quito. This monument was built in honor of the French  Geodesic Mission who arrived in Ecuador in 1736 to measure the meridians  and prove the exact shape of the earth. We will continue to the Inti  Ñan museum (Path of the Sun), close by the monument, where you will have  the opportunity to take part in diverse experiments that allow you to  verify that you are in fact at Latitude 0°00’00’’.
A stop at the Panecillo or Ichimbia Park is also included. These are some of the natural view-points of the city.

Trip of a lifetime! Green Adventures made planning and paying for the trip a breeze. David, our tour guide, was an expert and taught us so much. The Lodge is a treat in the middle of the rainforest. Comfortable accommodations, great food, incredible views. Highly recommended!
