STAY:

LUX:
Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel
This hotel is located right in heart of historic Quito and is surrounded by the most beautiful churches and monuments in the city.

LOCAL:
Hotel San Francisco de Quito
Once a traditional colonial home, Hotel San Francisco is located in the middle of the bustling historical center of Quito. A previous owner painted a beautiful fresco of the Virgen de Quito, which was discovered during a recent renovation. This hotel is the perfect place to experience traditional Ecuador.

TRANSPORTATION:

LUX:
Cabs are incredibly cheap in Ecuador and are the most convenient way of moving around the city.
For safety, make sure to take registered yellow cabs.

LOCAL:
Locals use the trolleybus to get from one part of the city to the other.
Most trolley cars are overcrowded- if possible, rent a city bike and explore.
