About Quito

Nestled in a deep, verdant valley some 15 miles south of the equator, Quito is one of the world's most unique capital cities, both geographically and otherwise. Thanks to its high altitude and a climate tempered by the towering summit of Guagua Pichincha and the rugged, green Andean peaks, Ecuador's capital city enjoys pleasant temperatures year-round. However, first-time travelers to the city should note that the weather can be quite Jekyll and Hyde, and locals are fond of boasting that they often enjoy many seasons in a day. Perhaps one of South America's most beautiful cities, Quito boasts an impressive array of architecture: the Neoclassical Palacio de Gobierno, a white governmental palace constructed in the 19th century; the Baroque-influenced monasteries of San Francisco and Santo Domingo; and la Compañía, a church and Jesuit college 160 years in the building that contains the remains of Saint Mariana de Jesús, the Lily of Quito. Although portions of Old Quito were destroyed during an earthquake in 1917, what remains is a perfectly preserved example of what South American colonialism must have looked like - a mazelike network of narrow, cobblestone pathways and flower-lined lanes that pass centuries-old homes, cathedrals, and public buildings. Old Town, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978, is the heart and soul of the city's tourism industry, home to scores of traditional and international restaurants, many of the city's top nightclubs, and a wealth of Old World-style markets and shops where local art and craftworks may be found at terrific prices. Meanwhile, the city's New Town stands as one of South America's strongest economic centers, with modern office towers, taxicabs and regiments of suit-wearing business types darting to and fro during the workweek. Dine on langostinos (a type of lobster) at La Querencia, one of the city's top Ecuadorian restaurants. Take in the view from El Panecillo, the aptly named "Bread Roll," a hill that rises from Calle Garcia Moreno and offers terrific photo-ops of the city and the mountains surrounding it. Finally, spend time at the Museo Amazónico learning what life was like when the indigenous Inca peoples first met the Spanish in the 15th century.
