Presentation
It is the capital and most populous city of Ecuador, located in northwestern South America. It lies north of Ecuador in the Guayllabamba River basin on the eastern slopes of Pichincha (4,794 meters), an active volcano in the Andes. Quito is located approximately 35 km south of the Ecuador line. A monument marks the place as la mitad del mundo ("the middle of the world").
Gateway to destinations such as the Galapagos Archipelago and Cuenca, the capital of Ecuador is one of those places that should be included in South American travel itineraries. It houses one of the continent's most beautiful historic centers (which, by the way, is the first Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO).
