About Quito
Quito sits at 2,850 meters in a mountain valley—the Ecuadorian capital with a UNESCO-recognized old town of colonial architecture. The city's elevation means cooler temperatures and stunning mountain views. Quito offers museums, restaurants, and cultural attractions, plus proximity to cloud forests and the Galápagos gateway.
