Quito is the home to beautiful cathedrals, elegant old mansions, interesting museums, plazas and parks, and is filled with street markets selling a wealth of Ecuadorian jewels, arts and crafts. This wonderful spring-like climate is dominated by mountains, with several snow-capped volcanoes standing majestically in the distance. It was also declared the third most important world cultural heritage site in Latin America, by UNESCO.

About a 30 minute drive north lies the invisible line called the Equator, and also the famous monument, Mitad del Mundo, where you can have one foot in either hemisphere.
