Quito Historic Center with the Family: Walking Scavenger Hunt｜Ecuador

Discover Quito's Historic Center like never before through a thrilling scavenger hunt specially designed for the little ones. Here, history becomes a game, legends come to life, and every street becomes a clue waiting to be deciphered. The adventure begins 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, participants will be able to form teams and complete various missions. They'll solve puzzles, look for hidden symbols, complete photo challenges, test their powers of observation, and score points as they move from station to station. Each mission will reveal a fascinating part of old 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 will also make a stop to taste traditional Quito flavors. We will taste delicious traditional sweets made in the style of yesteryear and enjoy a tasting of Ecuadorian chocolate, recognized as 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 life in Quito for generations.

This experience will awaken the adventurous spirit of the youngsters and re-enchant adults with a different, dynamic, and fun way to get to know the Historic Center. Learning through play becomes the key: teams will have to cooperate, communicate, make quick decisions, and observe their surroundings with fresh eyes. All while discovering why this place is a World Heritage Site and how every corner holds a story ready to be told.
