Quito
Quito lies in a narrow Andean valley, 2,850 metres
above sea level, its skyline dominated by views of the snow-capped
Pichincha volcano.
The city was declared a UNESCO "World Heritage Site" in 1978, thanks to its historic Franciscan centre, which is one of the largest and best
preserved in Latin America. The colonial quarter is a treasure trove of
architecture, including mansion houses, churches, monasteries and museums.
It is a good base for trips to nearby haciendas and to Otovalo market for essential handicraft shopping.
