Few cities in the Americas wear their history as openly as Quito. Nestled high in the Andes at roughly 2,850 meters above sea level, Ecuador's capital preserves one of the largest, best-maintained historic centers in Latin America, a distinction recognized in 1978 when UNESCO named it one of the first World Heritage Sites on the planet. This tour immerses you in that living archive of stone, paint, gold leaf, and memory.

This is just a preview—explore the full tour in the Walksy app for GPS navigation, audio narration, and every stop along the way.
