About Quito

Quito, Ecuadors høje andinske hovedstad, har et af Latinamerikas bedst bevarede koloniale centre, omgivet af vulkaner og grønne bjerge.

Det historiske centrum var blandt de allerførste steder, der blev udnævnt til UNESCO-verdensarv, og dets kirker, pladser og klostre er spektakulære. La Compañía de Jesús gløder af bladguld indeni, Basilica del Voto Nacional har vandspyere formet som ecuadorianske dyr, og Plaza Grande er omgivet af katedralen og præsidentpaladset.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
