Description

Discover Quito's Historic Center like never before: through an exciting treasure hunt designed especially for the little ones. Here, history turns into a game, legends come to life, and every street becomes a clue ready to be deciphered. The adventure kicks off in front of the imposing Basilica del Voto Nacional and will take us through some of the most iconic places in the colonial center until we reach the majestic Plaza de San Francisco. Along the way, you can team up and complete various missions. You'll solve puzzles, look for hidden symbols, complete photo challenges, test your powers of observation, and score points as you move from station to station. Each mission will reveal a fascinating part of ancient Quito: stories of almost forgotten characters, mysterious legends that still whisper between the walls, architectural details that often go unnoticed, and secrets of artisans who have shaped the city's identity for centuries. And since every adventure deserves a sweet touch, we'll also stop to taste Quito's traditional flavors. We'll try delicious typical sweets made in the style of yesteryear and enjoy a tasting of Ecuadorian chocolate, recognized among the best in the world. Each bite will tell its own story, connecting us with tradition, local cuisine, and the ingredients that have been part of Quito's life for generations. This experience will awaken the adventurous spirit of the youngest and re-enchant adults with a different, dynamic, and fun way to get to know the Historic Center. Learning by playing is key: teams must cooperate, communicate, make quick decisions, and observe the environment with fresh eyes. All while you discover why this place is a World Heritage Site and how each corner holds a story ready to be told.
