Day 2- Monday, November 13: In Quito: City Tour and visit to the “Middle of the World” (B/L)
Independence Square, Quito EcuadorAfter breakfast, we meet our tour guide and start our tour of Quito. Highlights will include the Independence Square located in Quito, Ecuador is the central square of its city and is also referred to as the Plaza Grande. A symbol of one of the executive powers of the country, it is surrounded by four other buildings which are The Presidential Palace, the Cathedral of Quito, the Municipal Palace and the Archbishops Palace. The monument recognizes the heroes of the First Cry of Independence which took place on the 10th August, 1809. Then to San Francisco Church and Convent,  one of the largest architectural structures within a historic center in the Americas, the San Francisco Church and Convent earned the nickname of “El Escorial” of the New World. Despite the changing stylistic trends throughout its 150 years of construction, its talented architects and engineers managed to create a harmonious combination that gave way to a continental gem of architecture. The edifice serves as a repository of more than 3,500 pieces of colonial art, most notable of which are those from the famous Quiteño School of Art. The Legend of Cantuña, which tells the story of a cunning indigenous worker that managed to deceive the Devil, originated here too.  We end our morning touring with La Compañía de Jesús,  a profusely ornate Jesuit church and a splendid example of the Spanish Baroque architecture in South America. The church is one of the best-known churches in the area because of the large central nave which is spectacularly decorated with wood, gilded plaster, and gold leaf carvings. A highlight of the church is the altar that is decorated with biblical scenes and patterns, and saints and angels, surrounded by a ring of the 12 apostles. After our included lunch, we continue with our tour guide and travel to discover the dividing line between the north and south of the world. Here we will find the monument that stands on the line that divides the northern and the southern hemispheres. The Equatorial Monument was built during the 17th century when the precise dividing line between the hemispheres was defined by a French expeditionary team. We will visit the Middle of the World Monument and village.  Then transfer back to our hotel for the evening and dinner on your own at some of the wonderful Quito restaurants.
