Overview

We offer you a complete tour, in which you will be able to know and enjoy the main tourist attractions of the city, you are going to live the experience with us!
Due to its landscape of singular beauty, and for having the largest and best preserved Historic Center in Latin America, Quito was declared, in 1978, the first World Cultural Heritage city.
The colonial city keeps in its streets, squares, temples, convents and monuments, the traces of the Spanish conquest.
Modern Quito emerges, on the other hand, with all the strength of a thriving and cosmopolitan capital, reflected in its buildings, shopping centers and hotels.
It is also known as Luz de América, for being the cradle of the First Cry of Ibero-American Independence.
You can discover this and much more in a whole day with Latiudetripec.
