In the middle of the Andes the colonial capital, Quito is located. The historic center of Quito is the largest and best-preserved colonial city in South America. The narrow streets and colonial buildings give an impression of colonial times. The central location of Quito makes it the perfect base for day tours to destinations in the area. It is also the starting point for travel to the Galápagos Islands and the jungle areas Yasuní and Cuyabeno.
