Ecuador · best June-September and December-January (dry seasons)
Quito sits at 2,850 meters in the shadow of Pichincha volcano, its colonial core a UNESCO-listed maze of gold-leafed churches that Spain built to outshine Rome. This is a city of altitude sickness and altitude highs, where you can stand with one foot in each hemisphere and still not be the strangest thing that happened that day.
Centro Histórico
One of the best-preserved colonial centers in the Americas, dense with churches, plazas, and pickpockets after dark.
