Quito, the Metropolitan District and Capital of the Republic of Ecuador, finds itself between a contemporary and a colonial city that is constantly being built each day.

The modern structure mixes with the crossbreeding and colonial heritage where both national residents and foreign visitors always find a place to work,enjoy and remember.

Located in the Andes mountain range 2.800 meters above sea level, Quito occupies a plateau of 12.000 square kilometers. Its environmental temperature oscillates between 50 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 25 centigrade degrees).

The climatic contrasts that are presented during the course of a day, allows one to enjoy the four seasons of the year around the clock - as if having eternal spring. Also, the city is surrounded by the Cotopaxi volcano and Pichincha, Antizana, Cayambe volcanoes that make up the majestic Andean contour.

Quito, full of meanings that identify and define it, occupies hillsides and valleys. It winds through narrow streets and opens up in wide avenues. It zigzags around hills and gulches. Because of this physical beauty, its traditions, mystic corners and valuable legends, it is considered ¨Reliquary of the American Art¨. Because of these main characteristics, in November of 1978, Quito was declared by UNESCO as the ¨Cultural Heritage of Humanity¨.
