Description

You'll get to know about the history and facts about this unique neo-Gothic Church's "never ending construction", according to local legends. An imposing Catholic Church nestled amidst the high Andean mountains and volcanoes, giving the impression of being not just in the middle of the world but also on top of it. The biggest one in the whole of South America. We will delve into its awe-inspiring interior, admiring the structures and colorful vitrals. Finally, we'll climb some steep stairs towards the summit of its towers (reaching 115 meters tall) so we can enjoy a 360° view of the city.
(Tickets for entering the Church and towers—$6 in total—are not included; if you'd like, you can go all on your own, or you can pay for the tickets of our guide—$5—so you can get a guided experience in there.)
