If you think the Galápagos islands are the only place worth visiting in Ecuador, think again! Ecuador’s capital, Quito, is worth exploring too. A fascinating city sitting at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the city is closely associated with Incan history and European colonization of the Americas. Its colonial past is reflected in its grand churches, cathedrals and the 130 monumental buildings in the historic centre of Quito. Many museums, art galleries, volcano hikes, etc. also woo tourists from around the world. Another interesting fact that is unique to Quito is that the equator passes right through the city and there is a monument and a museum dedicated to it. And in this wonderful city, finding a decent base for your adventures will not be difficult. The city offers a variety of accommodation options to suit every budget. Read on to find out more about the best vacation rentals in Quito, Ecuador.
