Quito – Rising Star at the Centre of it All
Glendale, California (PRWEB) October 03, 2013 -- Quito – is fast rising as a popular first stop on any South American adventure. Packed with history, yet pulsing with the vibrant hum of an urban playground on the rise, this safe, culturally rich and cosmopolitan city is not just the political centre of Ecuador. It’s the geographical centre of the world, sitting a mere 25km from the Equator. No longer dismissed as a one night stop on the way to the Galapagos, this UNESCO World Heritage Site listed city saw its international tourism grow by over 7% in 2011-2012.
At 2800 meters (9350 feet) above sea level, Quito is one of the highest capital cities in the world. Sitting in a valley surrounded by active, dormant and extinct volcanoes – most of which can be climbed. On clear days, the snowcapped summit of Cotopaxi Volcano provides a spectacular backdrop to the equally impressive colonial centre of Quito, one of the largest, best-preserved historic centres in the Americas.
Goway Travel is highlighting the amazing choices in and around Quito with a new 4 day module called Quito – Centre of it All.
