We will then head to the Plaza de la Independencia, where through a walking route you will see the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, and La Compaia Church, recognized for its adornments and gold altars. The tour will continue towards the Church of San Francisco, built in the seventeenth century. (Entrance to churches are not included). Then head to the Mirador del Panecillo (entrance included) a place renowned for its beauty, where you can admire a beautiful landscape of colonial and modern Quito. We will stop at the Zona Rosa of the city, to have free time for lunch, and then continue to the northern part of the city, heading up to the Middle of the World City, where the monument that divides the Northern from the Southern Hemisphere will be observed.
