Learn more about hotels in Quito

Quito, the second-highest capital in the world, nestles in a valley against the eastern slopes of the Pichincha volcano. As the oldest capital in South America, founded by the Spanish in 1534, it's drenched in ancient charisma and exhibits an intriguing fusion of Spanish, indigenous, and Moorish influences. Its captivating historic centre, one of the most extensive and well-preserved in the Americas, was honoured as one of the two initial UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites in 1978.

Despite its rich historical lineage, extending back to 4400 - 1600 BC, Quito hasn't allowed the past to overshadow its contemporary evolution. This vibrant hub of political, economic, and cultural activity is the ace contributor to Ecuador's GDP and boasts the highest per capita income in the country, reflecting in its vivacious cityscape brimming with national and international institutions, businesses, and arts community.

When to visit Quito

Visiting Qito anytime offers a unique experience, thanks in part to its subtropical highland climate created by the city's considerable altitude. However, some periods do present more opportune moments for specific activities. June to September is a favourable time for trekking in the Andes and leisurely exploring the city's highlands, while high season travel during the South American winter offer a chance to experience Quito at its most vibrant.

With the Amazon Basin dry season falling in October and November, those with an appetite for wildlife spotting should consider these months most fruitful. Keep in mind, the city’s proximity to the Equator means temperatures remain relatively constant throughout the year, so the warmth of Quito's welcoming atmosphere can be relished at any time on the calendar.
