As Ecuador\u2019s capital, Quito is not only geographically central to the world but has been historically central as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Legend has it, Incan General Rumi\u00f1ahui burned down the city of Quitu (the indigenous name for what we know today as Quito) in 1534 to keep Sebasti\u00e1n de Benalc\u00e1zar from conquering the city in the name of the Spanish Empire. Centuries later, Quito would become the site of great discovery for French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine who published a famous paper in 1751 after spending five years measuring and observing the city\u2019s physical dimensions. His findings confirmed Newton\u2019s theory that the world is not flat, but rather a rounded globe that bulges at the Equator (sorry members of the Flat Earth Society). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nearly another two centuries later in 1949, journalist Leonardo P\u00e1ez\u2019s adaptation of H.G. Well&#8217;s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The War of the Worlds <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(1898) famously blared through Radio Quito airwaves as he read his script live \u2014depicting Quito as an alien-invaded land that left Quite\u00f1o society in an absolute panic. When P\u00e1ez finally announced his alien narrative as a \u201cfictional drill\u201d the public took to the streets, marched down to the radio station, and burned it to the ground killing seven Radio Quito personnel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this article, you\u2019ll learn why you should take some time exploring this unique and beautiful city full of stories to tell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20283 size-full\" title=\"why should you visit it at least once?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/atardecer-en-quito-1.jpg\" alt=\"why should you visit it at least once?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Reasons to Love Quito<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the capital of Ecuador, Quito is a political and economic hub, but the history of this city can be tasted, viewed, and touched through multiple sites:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Food:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in the Andes, Quito benefits from multiple tubers (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yuca\/casave), grains (corn, wheat, barley), and meats (beef, pork, goat, chicken, guinea pig) that are endemic to its ecosystem, and some that are the product of African and Spanish migrations. Additionally, Quito&#8217;s proximity to the Pacific Ocean guarantees fresh delicious seafood. If you like soups, I highly recommend <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">locro<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (potato soup), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fanesca<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (a soup made out of 12 grains that is typically prepared during Easter), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">sancocho <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(a hearty beef broth with vegetables). If you like tapas-style meals, you can try <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bonit\u00edsimas <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(corn cakes), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">llapingachos <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(potato cakes), or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">empanadas <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(fried dough filled with your choice of cheese, meat, or shrimp). As a Moroccan friend told me recently: \u201cevery food in Quito is comfort food.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Where to try these dishes:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Restaurants and bars on La Ronda Street ($- located in Quito&#8217;s historic downtown)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Rinconlaronda\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rinc\u00f3n La Ronda<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ($$- Noruega E1049 y Av. 6 de Diciembre)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/micocinatradicion\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mi Cocina<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ($$- Megamaxi Mall, 6 de Diciembre y Julio Moreno)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CasaGangotena\/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&amp;eid=ARCBRT_Ld_kNoDmYP0eEox1bYq5yVJYke2vAVFJMywqVeX0t6bXHZ0JaGJDhjYAZYc0xNEnw8b2xRROJ\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Casa Gangotena<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ($$$$- Simon Bolivar Oe6-41)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Architecture:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Quito\u2019s major architectural influences come from the indigenous Quitus <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incas, as well as the Spaniards. During the colonial period (16th-19th centuries), Spaniards brought a variety of styles (mud\u00e9jar, rococ\u00f3, baroque, neoclassic) that gave shape to churches, monasteries, and government buildings, like the presidential palace (Palacio de Carondelet). The turn of the 20th and 21st centuries have brought new architectural practices to the city, ranging from skyscrapers to the Itchimb\u00eda Cristal Palace.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nature:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Because Quito is built at the foot of an active volcano (Guagua-\u00abChild\u00bb- Pichincha), and across several smaller mountains (Itchimb\u00eda, Ilal\u00f3, Panecillo), the views of the city from above can\u2019t be beaten. These natural terraces will allow you to understand what it means to be located at the heart of the Andes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Markets:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Ecuador is home to many nationalities and ethnicities, and there is no better place to understand this social and cultural diversity than markets. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mercado Central<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Central Market<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) will give you a clear idea of legumes, fruits, vegetables, and even flowers that are produced within the country. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mercado Artesanal <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Handcrafts Market) will give you a sense of the clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs that are made by indigenous communities in the Highlands.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20285 size-full\" title=\"Reasons to Love Quito\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/mercado-artesanal-1.jpg\" alt=\"Reasons to Love Quito\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Magical Places in Quito<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Telef\u00e9rico<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A short taxi ride from Quito&#8217;s downtown ($4-$6 depending on traffic) will take you to the base of the Pichincha mountain range, which contains three peaks: Guagua (the Child), Rucu (the Sleeping One), and the Padre Encantado (the Enchanted Father). The peaks of these mountains all sit above 4,000 mts (13,123 ft) above sea level, so make sure you wear your layers as the temperature will get cold. Remember, Quito is right on the Equator, so abundant water and sunscreen is always a good idea. The furthest point of the mountain you can reach by car is the lift&#8217;s parking lot, where you will be able to do two things. You can go to Vulcano Park, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">an amusement<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> park with roller coasters, bumper cars, and a vertical slingshot. Additionally, you can take an air gondola that will take you up the mountain, where you will have a marvelous view of Quito. The gondolas are open every day from 8am-5pm, and a roundtrip ride will cost you $8.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Church and Convent of Saint Francis<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another alt-history favorite: they say Spanish King Charles V complained that he should be able to see the towers of Saint Francis&#8217; Church from Spain given all the resources the Crown had invested in the construction of the building. His anger was understandable: the construction of Saint Francis began in 1539, and the building was inaugurated in 1705.\u00a0 Despite the King\u2019s budget concerns, Saint Francis remains one of the most important monuments in Latin American colonial architecture. I highly recommend you take the time to visit the Church, the gardens and the Museum Fray Pedro Gocial located, inside the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">monastery<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The convent is open Monday-Sunday from 10am-4pm, and it costs $4 to enter its premises.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pro Tip: Ask about the Cantu\u00f1a legend and how one of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">monastery<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> chapels was built. Sometimes being a procrastinator can lead to success by way of the devil, or so the Catu\u00f1a legend suggests.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">El Ejido Park<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the foundation of the city, El Ejido has been used as a place for animals to graze, a site for executing convicted criminals, and&#8211;since the 1960&#8217;s&#8211;a place for painters to exhibit their work on Sundays. While it\u2019s highly recommended that you not miss out on visiting El Ejido, try to do so during the daytime.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">La Ronda Street<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From Inca Trail to poet alley, the Juan de Dios Morales street&#8211;aka La Ronda street&#8211;embodies the historical changes that make Quito such a unique city. I recommend you visit this street after 6 pm, and enjoy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">empanadas de viento <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(cheese empanadas), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">empanadas de morocho <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(morocho-corn empanadas, usually filled with meat and rice), and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">canelazo, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a hot drink that combines juice and sugar cane alcohol. This street is located right by Santo Domingo, another beautiful building you might want to visit during the afternoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/product\/jacamar-pass-quito-to-banos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20079\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderbusecuador.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1-quito-to-banos.jpg\" alt=\"Quito to Ba\u00f1os\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Best Souvenirs from Quito and Where to Buy Them<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">El Mercado Artesanal <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">($- Handcrafts Market)<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jorge Washington 611.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Market is open every day from 9am-7pm.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Olga Fish Store ($$$)<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Av.
