What you can expect

Discover Quito's living roots on a walking tour through Indigenous history. Learn about who lived here 2,000 years ago, how Indigenous peoples have endured under colonial occupation, and how their knowledge, food, crafts, and sacred geography remain alive today.

Walk through the plazas where ancestors held pre-Hispanic markets. See real artifacts from civilizations that flourished here. Taste traditional sweets born from the blend of Andean ingredients and Spanish techniques.

Observe architecture that mixes European symbols with Indigenous aesthetics. Discover the sacred spaces beneath your feet that the colony occupied.

This tour respects the exteriors of temples and churches, so you won't enter them. Instead, explore the resilient continuity of Indigenous peoples: their resistance, their art, their food, and their spirit that persists in this city.
