[Quito travel guide](https://expedia.ca/Quito.dx6053672)

#### Wander the tranquil streets of this colonial neighbourhood, which is home to a historic church, interesting galleries, cozy cafés and a pristine urban park.

Art, history and striking scenery intertwine in Guápulo. Situated north of Quito’s city centre, Guápulo is famous for being the city’s bohemian barrio (neighbourhood), a place where life moves at an easy pace. Days here are spent strolling along quiet cobblestone streets, peeking inside galleries and artisan shops, people-watching from café terraces and relaxing in an attractive urban park. 

At the heart of Guápulo is its centerpiece landmark, the grand colonial-era Sanctuary of Guápulo. Step inside to discover a fascinating collection of Quito School art. Examine *Our Lady of Guadalupe in Spain*, a 17th-century sculpture by Spaniard Diego de Robles. Admire the church’s mosaic ceiling and intricately carved pulpit.

Stroll along the winding Camino de Orellana to find bars and cafés frequented by artists, poets and musicians. On this street in the mid-1500s, Francisco de Orellana set off on an expedition to be the first to navigate the Amazon River. Follow the street to Mirador de Guápulo (Guápulo Lookout) for sweeping views of the village and to spot snow-capped Andean peaks. Look for the Statue of Francisco de Orellana, which honours the explorer’s achievements.

The neighbourhood’s attractive Parque Guápulo has sprawling green lawns, children’s play areas and decorative ponds. Spot more than 30 colourful bird species as you stroll along walking trails shaded by eucalyptus and palm trees.

Visit Guápulo in September when the village celebrates the Fiestas de Guápulo. Local residents fill the streets to take part in parades, music and dance performances. Don’t miss the curious orange-throwing contest, called the Entrada de las Naranjas (Entrance of the Oranges). Many events take place at the Sanctuary of Guápulo and Parque Guápulo.

Guápulo is just a 15-minute drive from Quito’s Centro Histórico (Historic Centre) and is accessible via public bus. Bear in mind that most cafés, galleries and shops close on Sunday. Visit Guápulo for a daytrip or stay for longer and take advantage of the neighbourhood’s choice of accommodation options.
