Quito and Ecuador have a human history which reaches back increadibly to 3600BC, the the Incas were only around between 1000 and 1534 AC! It has its special place on the globe since (as the country name suggests) its on the equator! Lively and busy city. Spanish is the only lingo but the friendy locals will help and recieve travellers kindly. Surrounded by a series of mountains of increadible height. [edit text][editors]
