Beach near Quito, Ecuador

Quito Travel Guide

Ecuador

Quito is Ecuador’s capital and a city of nearly two million people, set in the Andes near the Equator. It is the country’s main political and administrative centre.

Most international visitors arrive through Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), the airport serving the city. Quito is inland, and there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so beach trips require travelling farther from the capital.
