Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city and was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its artistic, cultural and historical wealth.
The city has the best-preserved historic centre in Latin America. Walking in Quito's old town tourists can visit many of the colonial baroque churches, like La Compania and the monastery of San Francisco and ancient buildings such as the Presidencial Palace, as well as several interesting museums.
The city, nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by impressive mountains, has a nice, springtime climate and is the perfect start for a trip to Ecuador and visits to the unique Galapagos islands.
