Ecuador's Capital City


A circle of snowcapped volcanoes surrounds Quito, the capital city of Ecuador and being only 15 miles from the equator this beautiful city boosts a spring-like climate all year round. Quito is special in that it has a combination of superb well preserved colonial Catholic cathedrals next to sleek shining glass modern office buildings. Like many churches built during the 16th and 17th centuries most cathedral architecture shows Moorish influences. 1.5 million people call this city home and it's easy to see why with its quaint cobbled streets, red tiled roofs, factories and thriving agricultural industry. We found the traditional Ecuadorian food excellent and the local peoples warm and welcoming. Buenos Dias
