Quero activities & tours | Explore Ecuador’s heartland

Quito is a city that effortlessly blends tradition and modernity, nestled in the Andean highlands of Ecuador. Its breathtaking location, colonial architecture, and vibrant streets make it a must-visit destination for travelers looking for culture, adventure, and amazing views. At almost 3,000 meters above sea level, visitors are treated to stunning panoramas and an inviting local atmosphere, all set beneath the watchful presence of the Pichincha volcano.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in 1534, Quito is one of South America’s oldest cities and boasts a UNESCO-listed historic center full of churches, monasteries, and plazas. Its rich history is visible in every corner, from the majestic La Compañía Church to the bustling Plaza Grande, inviting you to step back in time as you wander its cobblestone streets.

When to Go?

Due to its equatorial location and altitude, Quito enjoys spring-like weather all year round. The driest months are June through September, which are perfect for exploring the old town and ascending nearby mountains. However, even during wetter months, the city is lively and welcoming, with frequent sunny intervals.

Do I need to worry about altitude sickness?

With the city sitting at nearly 3,000 meters, some travelers may experience mild symptoms like headaches or shortness of breath. It’s best to take things slowly at first and stay well hydrated.
