Your private guide and transportation will greet you at your hotel in Quito.
Stand with one foot in each hemisphere at the iconic Middle of the World City, where the 30-meter monument marks latitude 0°. Explore the French and Guayasamín pavilions, then head to the Intiñan Museum for hands-on experiments: balance an egg on a nail, witness the Coriolis effect, and learn about Indigenous solar culture.
Enjoy a meal at a curated restaurant (options: La Gloria, Pez Bela, Segundo Muelle, Mi Cocina, or Clara).
Please confirm which restaurant you would prefer so that a reservation can be made. Lunch cost not included—order à la carte!
Delve into the emotional universe of Ecuador’s most famous artist, Oswaldo Guayasamín. The Chapel of Man—a dramatic tribute to human suffering and resilience—features monumental murals and sculptures. Next, visit his private home-museum, filled with pre-Columbian artifacts and personal works.
Savor Ecuador’s luxury "champagne of chocolates" in a guided tasting of 6 varieties. Learn about fine-aroma cacao’s terroir and pairings, and why To’ak is among the world’s most expensive (and exquisite) chocolates.
Return comfortably to your hotel with a head full of memories.
