Welcome to Quito! It is the most visited city in Ecuador, due to its cultural richness, being considered "Reliquary of Art in America", as well as being the first city to be declared by UNESCO "Cultural Heritage of Humanity". The city is surrounded by the Pichincha, Antisana, Cotopaxi, and Cayambe volcanoes that make up the Andean contour. One of our representatives will be waiting for you at the Quito airport to transfer you to the hotel, and depending on your arrival time, you can spend the day exploring the old town of Quito and its surroundings. We can help you organize a day trip (please request it in advance). In the evening, one of our guides will meet you in the hotel lobby for a welcome briefing at 6:00 p.m. At this time we will discuss the details and questions you may have about the adventure. Our first day is an acclimatization and information day.
