Quito. We had just spent five days in the wilds of Ecuador. Now it was time to experience the countryâs capital city of Quito, a throbbing metropolis of over 2.5 million people.It is called the city of eternal spring due to the combination of its locationâjust a few clicks (16 miles south) under the equatorâplus its 9000-foot-plus altitude.t is called the city of eternal spring due to the combination of its locationâjust a few clicks (16 miles south) under the equatorâplus its 9000-foot-plus altitude.
Located in the inter-Andean valley, Quito is a city of sun and sky surrounded by mountains, with three snow-capped volcanoes in view on a clear day. Its climate has been described by many as eternal spring, due to its high altitude and its location close to the equator.n this sense Quito can certainly be considered representative of many Latin American urban areas-without the magnitude of problems related to massive population centers as in Mexico and Brazil or even in Ecuador's port city of Guayaquil. As the capital city, Quito has good communication links to the rest of Ecuador.
