MORE THINGS TO DO

Explore Quito, Ecuador

Presidential Palace | Overlooking Quito’s Independence Square, the grand Presidential Palace is currently the seat of government of the Republic of Ecuador. Built in the French Renaissance and Spanish Baroque architectural styles, the colonial mansion once served as headquarters of Gran Colombia, a short-lived republic that stretched from the top of South America and the bottom half of Central America—after the Battle of Pichincha in 1822.

Cotopaxi National Park | With sweeping plains, rocky mountain trails, and glassy lagoons, Ecuador’s largest and most-visited national park is a spectacular setting for an outdoor adventure. Located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Cotopaxi National Park is most famous for the much-photographed Cotopaxi volcano, the highest active volcano in South America.

La Basílica del Voto Nacional | One of the largest neo-Gothic churches in the Americas, La Basílica del Voto Nacional is an unmistakable feature of the skyline. Perched on a hill, the 19th-century beauty has three towers, which may be climbed to enjoy a fantastic city panorama. Technically unfinished, local legend opines that when the completion of the basilica arrives, so will the end of the world.

Quito Old Town | The historical heart of Ecuador’s capital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Quito Old Town is the first port of call for most visitors to the city. Known for its cobblestone lanes, Spanish colonial architecture, and beautiful churches, it’s Quito’s most atmospheric district.

Otavalo Market | Nestled in a valley at the foot of a volcano 57 miles (92 kilometers) north of Quito, Otavalo is a highland community of indigenous locals famous for their weaving skills and colorful textiles. The local Otavaleños who sell their wares at the daily market wear traditional clothing and have maintained their culture, way of dress, and identity.
