I recommend reading up on the history of the Virgen de Quito before you go. It makes seeing the statue even more meaningful. A little knowledge goes a long way in enjoying the experience

If you're on a budget, check out the local markets nearby for lunch instead of dining in tourist traps; you can find delicious Ecuadorian dishes for a fraction of the price.

Consider hiring a local guide. It’s worth the small fee to get insights into the fascinating history and symbolism behind the artwork.

If you can, visit on a weekday morning around 9 AM. It’s less crowded, and you'll have more time to appreciate the stunning architecture and details without rushing.
