Hotels in Quito

Most hotels can be found in the colonial city center and around the Mariscal district. They are the busiest exit areas, so you have a lot of noise and it is not that safe to walk around at night.
If you prefer to stay a bit outside the city, we recommend our guesthouse El Rinconcito. Here you are already well on your way to the main attractions around Quito: Otavalo, Papallacta, Cotopaxi, Pasochoa, .. A taxi (USD 15) will take you to the city center in 30 minutes. Our employees can also help you with your journey from here. El Rinconcito is 15 minutes from the new airport.

WHY TRAVEL TO ECUADOR?

Indian woman from SalasacasIn South America, Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but the country is hugely diverse in terms of geography, climate and population. You can visit the Andes, the Amazon rainforest as well as the tropical coast without taking extremely long domestic flights or transfers. And then you have the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime experience. The diversity of flora and fauna per square mile is enormous. Ecuador is South America in a nutshell. Moreover, the country is relatively safe and little visited. The national currency is the USD and you have a wide choice of direct flights to Quito and Guayaquil from Europe and the United States.
