Quito Vacation Guide

Quito
First UNESCO World Heritage Site (1978)
There are 320 hectares of living historical monuments built in the 16th and 17th century by the finest artists of the world with the original architectonical plans of Michael Angelo, Vigñola, Herrera, Bramante, Guerra, Bermini, Becerra, etc. So much value that Quito won its “heritage” title against Rome. (1980)
Quito is not just spectacular buildings and plazas built on top of Inca walls; golden baroque pulpits carved by Juan Bautista Menacho which are the finest of the 17th century and no one can compete with the golden altarpieces by Bernardo de Legarda in the 18th century.
Father Juan de Velasco the greatest Jesuit historian wrote in his 18th century book Modern History of Quito Kingdom :” Just a few have become renowned and of great name. Among the old ones one took the aclamations of all, in the painting Miguel de Santiago pal of Ticiano and Micheal Angelo, whose works were seen with admiration in Rome as he matched Velasquez and exceeded Murillo. In more recent times Andrés Moral ...Its monumental staruary I dare to say that can be put without fear in competition with the rarest of Europe”.
Definitely do shopping and walking in Quito! You may come across some amazing photo snap shots...and, if you get a chance, go to cities around Quito, like Otavalo, or even head south to Ambato! You can see the true Ecuadorian culture.

Quito is a wonderful colonial city.. ans it's perfectly located to do completely different things in Ecuador.. With max one day trips, you can visit heart of the jungle, or beautiful beaches, or thermal complexes, or beautiful glaciers on top of the mountains, or indigenous villages, or adventure sport centers like rafting or skydiving, or active volcanoes with beautiful crater lakes.. Oh don't forget to visit The Middle of The World.. Mitad del Mundo :))
