Art and Culture

With the Americas’ largest historic centre and the Andes mountains as a backdrop, inspiration has never been in short supply in Quito. Artists, painters, writers, playwrights, musicians and poets have all made the Ecuadorian capital their home, and Quito one of the most vibrant capitals of the continent.

Not only does the city boast a varied and exciting year-round cultural calendar, but also a selection of museums and cultural centres to satisfy even the most avid culture vulture (or condor, in our case). The city is also home to such compelling sights as the Middle of the World monument on the Equatorial Line as well as haciendas rich in history and tradition. Whatever your cultural tipple, we’ve got a blend that’s right for you.
