Colonial Quito: The 1st UNESCO World Heritage Site (4 Star)

Introduction

An ideal way to spend two days in Ecuador before traveling to the Galapagos

According to Conde NastTraveler, “Cloud-high in the Andes and hemmed in by the snow-capped peaks of two active volcanoes, few cities have as dramatic a setting as Quito. The Ecuadorian capital’s 16th-century Centro Histórico (Old Town) is not only the largest and best-preserved colonial center in Latin America, but it's also the world's very first UNESCO World Heritage city.”
