Quito is Ecuador’s capital; a city that rises in the
Andes, 2,800 meters above sea level (9,186.35 feet above sea level). Here, past and present coexist framed inside monumental architecture that speaks of history in Pre-Columbian and colonial times, of Independence and the Republic. The city that was named the first World Heritage Site is cozy, modern, artistic, and cultural. It is located only minutes away from forests and paramos, exuberant national parks, snowy volcanoes, and areas designated for birdwatching –recognized as the planet’s hot spots-. Quito, the entrance door to a mega diverse Ecuador, awaits you.
