QUITO, ECUADOR

Quito, a shiny and gripping city because of its cultural legacy and architectural treasures. Is the second highest capital in the world and is pure sensory overload. Picturesque plazas, baroque 17th-century cathedrals and the snow-covered peaks beyond form a backdrop to a vibrant city in motion: indigenous in traditional garb and bowler hats mingle with mestizos amid the sing-song voices of street vendors, newspaper sellers and shoeshine boys, while the scent of Andean cooking spills out of open-sided restaurants and food stalls.

The jaw-dropping Compañía de Jesús church, took 160 years in the making, it´s widely considered Ecuador's most beautiful building. In the Plaza Grande, the heart of Quito's old town, stands the Palacio del Gobierno where the president works. Quito, best preserved of Latin America, shown in its narrow streets, churches, monasteries and monuments. The place where you will find a perfect mix of cultures and art style.
