Quito Holidays

Lying just to the south of the equator, high in the Andes, Ecuador’s dynamic capital city boasts a dramatic location in the shadow of the volcanic peak, Pichincha.

Best explored on foot, the carefully restored historic centre has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is brimming with charm. Meander the cobbled streets of the old town to explore beautiful plazas and impressive churches.

For sweeping views across the city and surrounding peaks, take the cable car up the slopes of Pichincha, where hiking trails and panoramic viewpoints await. Back in the city, vibrant markets and welcoming cafés offer the perfect opportunity to sample traditional Ecuadorian cuisine and soak up Quito’s lively atmosphere.

Trailfinders offers a range of Quito holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to stand with a foot in each hemisphere at the nearby Equatorial Monument, or explore the picturesque old town with your own private guide - they are the perfect people to ask.
