What to do while in Quito
Quito offers a rare combination of historic architecture with stunning natural beauty. Take some time to explore the historic city center, which is considered one of the best-preserved in the entire world and protected as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Then climb into your vehicle to explore deep into the Andes Mountains. Make time for the drive to Pichincha, an active stratovolcano that sits near the iconic city.
Winter in Quito
Thanks to its proximity to the equator, you will find that winter in Quito is similar to summer in terms of accessibility and outdoor activities. With slightly cooler weather, you can take a tour of historic buildings such as Basilica del Voto Nacional, Catedral de Quito, or Carondelet Palace. All of these are in the historic city center. Take some time to window shop and sit down for a coffee outside their many cafes and restaurants.
