Route

1. This tour will start at your hotel at 9:00 am, we will take you to Guayasamin Museum located at Bellavista hill (Quito's Natural Viewpoint). Oswaldo Guayasamin was the most important painter from XX Century, he worked all over the world and started his own collection that later he opened as a museum. By now there is an special building that was his dream for many years, it is well known as la Capilla del Hombre, where some of his work is exposed. Unfortunately, he only saw the starting of his dream because he died at the US before the building was finished. In simple words this place is the best modern art and contemporary museum in Ecuador. After this visit we can add a delicious lunch in a local restaurant (please, let us know in advance).

2. Then, we will visit another wonderful museum in Quito called Central Bank, it has a complete route, from the vestiges of the first inhabitants of Ecuador until the contemporary and modern art expositions. In this first archaeological room there are pieces of pre-Inca cultures exposed: basic tools of stone and obsidian that are replaced with the most elaborate stone and ceramic utensils over time. From this period, very elaborate pieces are exhibited, especially ceramic. The Spanish conquest will come, so the next room talks about Quiteña Art school developed by locals and Spaniards . This was the time of great artistic production, creating a syncretism between the Spanish Catholic and the mythical indigenous. The next and final exhibition refers the republican art, the reflection of a time of political changes and struggles for independence. This is a great museum to learn more about the Ecuadorian history by art. Finally we will take you back to your hotel

About Quito

Quito, de hoge Andes-hoofdstad van Ecuador, heeft een van de best bewaarde koloniale centra van Latijns-Amerika, omringd door vulkanen en groene bergen.

Het historische centrum behoorde tot de allereerste plekken die tot UNESCO-werelderfgoed werden uitgeroepen, en zijn kerken, pleinen en kloosters zijn spectaculair. La Compañía de Jesús glanst van binnen van bladgoud, de Basílica del Voto Nacional heeft waterspuwers in de vorm van Ecuadoraanse dieren, en de Plaza Grande wordt omringd door de kathedraal en het presidentieel paleis.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
