Quito is home to an array of beautiful cathedrals, elegant old mansions, interesting museums, squares and parks. Full of street markets selling a wealth of Ecuadorian jewels, arts and crafts. This wonderful spring-like climate is dominated by mountains, with several snow-capped volcanoes standing majestically in the distance. It was also declared one of the most important world cultural heritage site in Latin America, by UNESCO.

Approximately thirty minutes drive north lies the invisible line known as the Equator and the famous monument Mitad del Mundo, here you can stand with one foot in either hemisphere.
