The old town of Quito is the largest and best preserved architectural complex of America and one of the most important. Its been winner of several awards, since 1978, when it was declared a World Heritage Site; to be nominated, by the Leader Destination of the World Travel Awards in 2013.

Because of the influence of several religious orders, during the colonial time, Quito is proud of having Franciscans, Jesuits and Dominicans religious and cultural monuments,which contributed to enlarge the art and skill of Quito’s craftsmen with the famous “Escuela Quiteña” (Quitos School).

A major attraction about 25 km away from the city is the Equator and the Middle World city. Not only one of the most iconic monument, but also the most important place in history with ancestral traditions of native pre-Incan people who inhabited the area.
