Top Tours and Activities in Quito | Book Online Easily

Nestled high in the Andean foothills, Quito is a city where colonial heritage meets stunning mountain landscapes. Its picturesque old town, vibrant plazas, and striking churches invite you to wander and discover. With a lively mix of local culture, bustling markets, and breathtaking views, every corner offers something memorable for visitors.

A Glimpse into the Past

The capital of Ecuador dates back to pre-Hispanic times, but it flourished with the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. This rich history is visible in the UNESCO-listed historic center, where cobblestone streets lead to ornate baroque churches and colorful facades.

When to Go

Quito enjoys mild temperatures year-round due to its elevation. The driest months, from June to September, usually offer clearer skies for exploring the city and the surrounding volcanoes. Expect some rain from October to May, but showers are generally brief and shouldn't spoil your plans.

Is altitude a concern?

Sitting at over 2,800 meters (9,186 feet), some travelers may feel the effects of the altitude. It’s wise to take it easy for the first day or two, stay hydrated, and avoid heavy meals while you adjust.
