Description

Discover the hidden and darker side of Quito in this immersive historical experience that reveals stories of power, politics, and mystery that shaped Ecuador’s past.

This guided tour takes you through some of the city’s most emblematic landmarks, where history and legend intertwine. Explore iconic sites such as the Basilica del Voto Nacional, where secrets lie beneath its neo-Gothic towers; the Museo Alberto Mena Caamaño, which brings to life dramatic historical events through powerful exhibitions; and the Church of La Compañía de Jesús, famous not only for its golden interior but also for its hidden underground spaces.
