Quito Hotels
Quality Quito
Peer through the volcanic peaks encircling the Andean valley and you will discover Quito, a city filled with colonial grandeur and natural tranquillity. With a proud Ecuadorian life force that is as vibrant as it is unassuming, it is no wonder that Quito has held World Heritage status for over 30 years. Be prepared for a sensory overload in the city that is nothing short of breathtaking. Show-off! ... Read more »
Hold on tight and hitch a ride on the world’s second-highest cable car, the terrifying (in a good way) Telefrico, affording extraordinary views of the entire city and half a dozen volcanoes. For some serenity, delve into Ecuador’s expansive ecosystem at the Botanical Gardens, or just take a stroll through the shops and enjoy a robust South American coffee on the patio along the romantic, cobblestoned Calle de la Ronda.
QUITO’S TOP 10
10. Casa de la Cultura Like a patchwork quilt of local artists, this great collection is free to see. |
5. Itchimbia Cultural Complex Watch the light fade from Quito’s old churches as the sun disappears behind the mountainside at this hilly park. |
9. Mitad del Mundo Just outside town is where you will literally find the middle of the world… or at least where it was proven that the Earth is in fact a sphere. A very interesting visit. |
4. Museo Mindalae From the Andes to the Amazon, this museum showcases the variety of Ecuadorian culture. |
8. La Vírgen del Panecillo Head to the top of El Panecillo and marvel at the masterful winged statue of the Virgin Mary. |
3. Iglesia de la Compañia de Jesus Once partially destroyed by a terrible fire, this now-restored church is considered the most beautiful in the Americas. |
7. Capilla del Hombre Home to the huge canvases of the ‘Latin American Man’ by Ecuador’s renowned contemporary artist Oswaldo Guayasamin. |
2. Museo del Banco Central You could go to see the Amazonian gold, but it’s the whisky bottles in the shape of animals that are the real talking points. |
6. Museo Guayasamin Pre-Columbian, colonial, independence and contemporary artworks abound. |
1. Conjunto Monumental San Francisco Delve into the artistic masterpieces held in this colossal 16th century church. |
QUITO EVENTS
For a uniquely Quito celebration, go in February for Carnival and dance among the flowers.
Easter’s Sacred Music Festival is the largest of its kind in South America.
The national Independence Day celebrations in August put the whole country in a mood for a party.
November’s Day of the Dead sounds morbid, but the amount of food and drink on offer will have you feeling alive.
Salsa your way over to the Fiestas de Quito each December and join in the merriment.
