What to do while in Quito
Quito offers a rare combination of historic architecture with stunning natural beauty. Take some time to explore the historic city center, which is considered one of the best-preserved in the entire world and protected as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Then climb into your vehicle to explore deep into the Andes Mountains. Make time for the drive to Pichincha, an active stratovolcano that sits near the iconic city.
Summer in Quito
Take advantage of the beautiful summer weather in Quito with a hike through the Andes Mountains and into the Guayllabamba river basin. This city earned its nickname as Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the World) because it is located about 16 miles (25 km) south of the equator, so you can finally straddle the line and post on your social media that you are truly the center of the world.
