Welcome to Quito

Quito is an ageless city, warm and friendly, with generous hosts always willing to showcase its beauty and magnificence to their every guest. Options as diverse as the stunning geography of the Andes, from volcanic paramo to lush subtropical cloud forests, provide ever-changing opportunities for visitors and residents to discover nature and take advantage of outdoor life. A deep-rooted culture, artful crafstmanship and beautiful colonial architecture are the not-so-hidden treasures one admires all across the landmark-ridden Historic Center, one of the largest and best preserved in all of the Americas. It comes as no surprise UNESCO declared Quito its first World Cultural Heritage Site in 1978. A modern yet traditional, cosompolitan yet ancient mountain niche, whose variety in cultural venues and exquisite gastronomy make it a tourist’s delight.
