About Quito

Quito, de hoge Andes-hoofdstad van Ecuador, heeft een van de best bewaarde koloniale centra van Latijns-Amerika, omringd door vulkanen en groene bergen.

Het historische centrum behoorde tot de allereerste plekken die tot UNESCO-werelderfgoed werden uitgeroepen, en zijn kerken, pleinen en kloosters zijn spectaculair. La Compañía de Jesús glanst van binnen van bladgoud, de Basílica del Voto Nacional heeft waterspuwers in de vorm van Ecuadoraanse dieren, en de Plaza Grande wordt omringd door de kathedraal en het presidentieel paleis.

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