Fabulous Quito
  Situated more than
2,825 meters in the Andes, in a quaint valley wedged between
volcanoes and towering mountain peaks, Quito is without a doubt the
most spectacular South American capital. With temperatures that
fluctuate between 9 and 23 degrees Quito is a pleasant place to be
most of the year. You never need more than a light jacket even in
the dead of winter. The City is divided into two halves. The north
half is a modern city and contains all the amenities you would find
in any other major city of the world. The south half, called "Old
Town", clings to its colonial roots. Quito's Old Town is so rich in
history that it was declared Humankind Patrimony Cultural Site by
Unesco.
The countryside
outside of Quito is no less impressive than the City. Cotopaxi, the
highest active volcano in the world, and Pululagua, an enormous
volcanic crater just a few kilometers from the equator, are both
within a one and a half hours of this brilliant Ecuador's capital.
Moreover, the world renown artisan community of Otavalo and numerous
other worthwhile destinations are also easily accessible from
Quito.
