The city has a heritage value between modern and colonial. Many of its attractions are located in hidden places and away from the Historic Center. Quito is not only a heritage city, its surroundings have countless places to enjoy cultural, sports and leisure activities in urban, rural and suburban parishes.

The diversity of tourism in a city with living neighborhoods is shown in the center of the world, at every step. To know Quito is to visit spaces not so named in the south and north of the capital. There you can see beauty, diversity, culture and gastronomy, which preserve syncretisms that enrich the ‘Carita de Dios‘ at every step.

 

How to get there?
