Quito, Ecuador's capital, is a great choice for a trip. It's a high-altitude city, sitting in a valley surrounded by mountains.
One of its biggest draws is its well-preserved historic centre. It's one of the oldest cities in South America and has lots of old buildings and churches. You can explore these on foot and soak up the atmosphere.
Quito is also a good starting point for exploring the rest of Ecuador. You can easily reach the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountains, and the Galapagos Islands from there. The city itself has a good range of restaurants, shops, and museums. And, if you enjoy outdoor activities, there are opportunities for hiking, biking, and climbing nearby.
Just be aware that the altitude might affect you initially. It's a good idea to take it easy for the first few days!
