Quito Travel Guide

It was founded in 1534 on the ruins of an ancient Inca city. Modern, northern Quito is a fun place to explore, with plenty of museums and urban parks as well as restaurants and nightlife. The southern districts are more working class and seldom visited by tourists.

About Quito

Quito covers an area of 125.1 sq. miles (324 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 2.2 million people being the capital and most important city of Ecuador. It is located on the eastern slopes of the Pichincha, an active stratovolcano in the Andes mountains.

Hostal Fuente de Piedra I

Hostal Fuente de Piedra INot to be confused with the less charming Hostal Fuente de Piedra II, this is a great find on a quiet street close to everything. A serene courtyard with a trickling fountain leads to small, simply furnished rooms with exposed stone in some and large picture windows in others.

The bathrooms are clean and good-sized, though none have tubs. There’s a small balcony with reading chairs for guests on the second floor and a very cozy restaurant with fireplace on the ground floor. This hotel has been open for over a decade, and the management still tries hard to please their guests.
