About Quito

Quito, capitale andina d'alta quota dell'Ecuador, ha uno dei centri coloniali meglio conservati dell'America Latina, tra vulcani e monti verdi.

Il centro storico fu tra i primissimi luoghi dichiarati Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO, e le sue chiese, piazze e monasteri sono spettacolari. La Compañía de Jesús risplende all'interno di foglia d'oro, la Basilica del Voto Nacional ha gargolle a forma di animali ecuadoriani, e la Plaza Grande è circondata dalla cattedrale e dal palazzo presidenziale.
