Quito Holidays


south & central america
Set high in the Andes, Ecuador’s vibrant capital city of Quito boasts a dramatic location and the carefully restored colonial centre is brimming with historical charm and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lying just to the south of the equator, the city is best explored on foot and a walk along the cobbled streets of the old town will reveal lovely views, beautiful plazas, churches and the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Trailfinders offers a range of Quito holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to stand with a foot in each hemisphere at the nearby Equatorial Monument, or explore the picturesque old town with your own private guide - they are the perfect people to ask.
