Quito is the picturesque capital of Ecuador located in the middle of the Andes mountain. It’s a great place to explore the traditional Ecuadorian culture, traditional culinary dishes, and visit one of the least altered historical city of Latin America. Plus, it’s a great way to check off one of UNESCO world heritage site while making a difference!
