Music & Arts Tour in Quito

Quito's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Quito is one of the highest capitals in the world, a colonial masterpiece nestled in an Andean valley with one of the best-preserved historic centers in South America, filled with ornate churches, convents, and lively plazas.
