Details About Quito
Destinations » South America » Galapagos Islands » Quito
Nestling between two spectacular towering Andean Ranges, Quito-Ecuador's capital, also straddles the Equator and, as such, lays claim to being the 'City at the centre of the world'. It is a city of wonderful juxtapositions! The wonderfully preserved and restored Old Town, a living testimony to Quito's colonial past, is complimented by the modern glass skyscrapers, electric trolleys and mansions to the north of the city. Even the somewhat dominant and highly active Pichincha Volcano, coexists harmoniously on the city's western side.

Attractions
Excursions to the city's fine museums allow us to step back in time and discover more about its fascinating history and indigenous people through their handicrafts, archaeology and even modern art. Itself a living museum, Quito's colonial Old Town takes on a completely different perspective by night! Travel to colourful indigenous markets and even both the northern and southern hemispheres in one day.
