Quito, Ecuador

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Quito is the capital of Ecuador and, at around 2,850 metres above sea level, one of the highest official capital cities in the world. Nestled in an Andean valley and flanked by volcanic peaks, it is renowned for having one of the best-preserved historic centres in Latin America, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. Travellers come for its colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and rich indigenous culture, as well as to use the city as a gateway to the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon basin, and iconic Andean destinations like Cotopaxi volcano and the Middle of the World monument.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Quito, Ecuador yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
