I absolutely love Quito, the last time I was there was in 1998. I loved it so much that I came very close to moving there, if it weren't for some family complications my wife and I would have moved there 20 years ago.

Siendo la capital Ecuador es una de la cuidad más hermosa y colonial. Mucho por conocer, el centro histórico, gastronomía y lugar de diversión.

Really love your tour in the city of Quito and introducing the Latin style of cuisine. Ofcourse Quito looks beautiful !! We Indians have very little knowledge about Ecuador and we know this country through Football. Thanks a lot and you are so lovely and pleasant. Love From India 🇮🇳

Welcome to Ecuador 🇪🇨 ❤❤

Definitely Quito has the best preserved historical center in Southamerica, also was the first city to be considered World Site Unesco in 1979, and the Highest Capital in the world with 2,800 metres altitude, like Peruvian borned in another Andean country, Quito is the pride of our whole continent, I will stayed at in two weeks and I have the best expectations

great video! spent some time in Ecuador back in the 80s, my first trip outside the US and Canada. It was very eye-opening and a great education. The people are wonderful and it was great to learn about their traditions and culture. I lived in Quito, Esmeraldas, Ambato, Tulcan, and Latacunga. I enjoyed the differences of each. The visit to Cotopaxi was more than memorable. It is amazing to see how much has changed. I hope you are able to visit all of the places you have planned, and can't wait for your videos.

You sound out of breath climbing those stairs to get to the top. But once there the views are as amazing as I remember. Cannot wait to go back with my wife whose an Ecuadorian. Her attempts to get me to learn spanish... is slow going. One day though, at least enough to get me by. And oh my oh my, humitas. I am sooooo looking forward to having those again. And my wife has made me that dish right after the humita closeup. So good. 👍 👍 👍 Oh the swing. I definitely remember that. I was to chicken to swing on it, but did sit on it with my wife and have photo proof. I'm deathly afraid of heights, it's my weakness lol. That and sweet tooth. You're also braver than I to eat cuy, because I met someone who raises them for food and felt so bad. Also, I do not remember the name of the restaurant in Quito, but it is two levels and rustic sort of and they served the best blackberry smoothy juice drink I've ever had. Your video brings back so many good memories and cannot wait to go back, and end of July and first week of August me and my wife will be going.

Perfect place to do some work online, and read a book. And going into the roof was cool too. At 10:00 did you get sick when you ate meat for the first time in years?

If it’s either or than no, Banos is definitely better for kids as there are pools, adventure swings, waterfalls, zip lines and more kid friendly adventures. But if they like nature, horseback riding and farm animals Cotopaxi is for sure a great option. I would skip the equator it’s cool but it’s a 2 hour trip and outside of the fun experiments they do at The real equator museum is not to be compared to your other options

Low temperatures will most likely be in the 50's Fahrenheit in the evenings and up to the mid 70's in the day. If you are venturing out of Quito, to the mountains you will certainly want something more like a fleece. It also rains often so be prepared for that. I would recommend something you could layer.
