Quito: Indigenous and Colonial City

Explore the historic center of Quito from an indigenous perspective to understand its mestizo origins. This tour aims to use the historic center as a means to comprehend the historical and cultural construction of Ecuadorian identity.

We will visit the exteriors of the main squares and churches, discovering how the city transformed from pre-Hispanic times to the republic. In every corner, you will hear stories and anecdotes that reveal the soul of the city.

After the Spanish conquest in Latin America, there was a cultural expansion in the Andes that combined Afro, European, and indigenous cultural traits, resulting in a mosaic of flavors, aromas, colors, rhythms, landscapes, and cultures that make Ecuador an unmissable cultural destination to understand the Andean South American culture.

I invite you to join this tour and learn from my perspective the history of Ecuador through the indigenous heritage we have, tasting ancestral flavors and visiting magnificent terraces from which we will observe the city.
