• Basilica del Voto Nacional - This neo-Gothic Catholic church began construction in 1884. It was built to commemorate Ecuador’s dedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as decreed by then-president Gabriel Garcia Moreno. The basilica is renowned for its towers offering stunning city views, the National Pantheon of Heads of State, catacombs, three chapels, and the Oblate convent.

• Plaza de la Independencia (Plaza Grande) - Known to locals as Plaza Grande, this is the main square in the Historic Center, serving as a political, symbolic, and historical hub of the city. Surrounding this historic square are the Palace of Carondelet or Government Palace, the Cathedral of Quito, the Archbishop’s Palace, and the city’s Municipality. The monument to independence is prominently located in the center of the square.

• Fundacion Iglesia de la Compania - The Society of Jesus is among the most significant Catholic temples in Latin America. Its facade, carved from volcanic stone, and its gold leaf-covered interior make it a quintessential example of baroque and syncretism. The temple, belonging to the Jesuit order, began construction in 1605 and houses unique paintings and artistic works.

• La Virgen del Panecillo - This sculpture atop the Loma of Panecillo represents the Virgen de Legarda or Virgen Apocalyptica, a Quito creation from the 18th century. Installed in 1975, it stands 41 meters tall and is one of the world’s tallest monuments. Made of aluminum and set on a stone base, the Panecillo hill is also a captivating natural viewpoint.

• TelefériQo Cable Car - The Quito Cable Car is one of South America’s highest aerial lifts, ascending from the city to nearly 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) above sea level on the Pichincha Volcano slopes. In just 18 minutes, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the capital, surrounding valleys, and, on clear days, several peaks along the Avenue of the Volcanoes. At the top station, Cruz Loma, visitors can explore mountain trails, enjoy the fresh Andean air, and capture stunning photos. It’s an ideal spot to appreciate Quito’s grandeur and the Andes’ beauty from above.

• Mitad Del Mundo - Discover one of Ecuador’s most iconic sites: the Middle of the World City, where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere. This must-visit destination combines science, culture, and natural beauty. Stroll around the monument marking the equator line, enjoy fun experiments demonstrating unique phenomena at latitude 0°, and visit the ethnographic museum to learn about Ecuador’s diverse indigenous cultures. Experience local artisan shops, savor Ecuadorian chocolate, and take memorable photos with the famous yellow line dividing the Earth in two.

• Intinan Museum - Intiñan is an engaging and interactive museum where visitors can explore Ecuador’s aboriginal history, cultures, and knowledge, particularly related to the study of the stars, especially the sun, and its effects and influence on these remarkable societies.
