This city offers a diverse range of attractions and activities that can be done as a family, as a couple or alone. It has a large number of sites that tell us its history, culture, natural wonders, as well as fun places for young people and children. The historic or colonial center of Quito is divided into two areas, which preserves the architectural characteristics of yesteryear quite well. Since 1978 the city is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is a place full of museums, churches, galleries, colonial buildings, houses with furnished balconies and open-air markets in narrow and cobbled streets, it has approximately 10 museums, 22 temples and several convents, such as the monasteries of San Francisco and Santo Domingo. . , the Jesuit church and school of La Compañía, the Basilica of the National Vow, as well as theaters, restaurants.
