Travel Tips For Quito, Ecuador

The Capital of Ecuador and one of the country's best traveling nodes

, Quito is a great place to visit and enjoy. Once you arrive you can make Quito your home base for journeys across the Ecuador from Galapagos to the deep of the jungle.

The standout hostel in Quito is the Casa Bamb. With great, clean and comfortable dorms, rooms, and a pricing that knows no competition in Quito, Casa Bamb offers the best value accommodation in the city. Relax on the terrace, enjoy the internet center, or take a nap on the rooftop to recharge after a long walk on the beach.

The first thing to visit in Quito is its old town. A historical district that hosts a basilica, art museums and monuments, the old town is also the place where to visit the Presidential Palace. Street performers will delight your ears with various music genres from jazz to classical.

A visit to the Oswaldo Guayasamin Museom will feed your cultural appetite. For viewing the larger paintings check out the Chapel of Man located nearby.

A great place to visit in Quito is the Guapulo district. Located next to Hostel Quito, the district is home to many pizza restaurants, pubs, hostels, residential apartments, and commercial buildings. Guapulo is also preferred by tourists. Here you will surely encounter many English speaking tourists. The only issue is a scarcity of cab rides, so make sure to have somebody drive you back to your hotel when the party ends.

An interesting place to dine is the Irish bar named Finn McCools. Here you can ask for a large size serving of fish and chips together with a genuine Irish bear. The Irish songs, the Sunday TV football events, and all TV sports are at home in this Irish themed pub.

Near La Nina, Kings Cross is another great dining location. Lots of restaurants offer many palatable dishes for the hungry tourists as they offer just about everything from traditional cuisine to fast food. The outdoor open grills are filled with the delicious smells of fresh burgers and chicken wings. Choose anything you like and enjoy the food served in the Kings Cross district.

For a more xotic culinary experience, try the original Vietnamese food served at Uncle Hos in Jos Calama.

When visiting Quito you should be aware of a few safety issues. Try to stay away from dark alleys and keep your valuables in the hotel room. Use cabs to drive in and out of places you do not know and stay alert when you cruise the streets at night. The recommended way to travel,when in Quito or in other parts of the country, is with a larger group.

The Quito weather can be quite cold. Temperatures are spring like and they tend to stay that way throughout the year. Make sure to pack some warm clothing. There are only two seasons here, the dry season and the wet season. During the latter, the city can be struck quite hard by El Nino so pack an umbrella and lots of water resistant clothing if you travel to Quito during that time.
