Let's start with the historic center of Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dates back to the 16th century. You'll be transported back in time as you stroll along the narrow streets lined with beautifully preserved colonial buildings, churches, and monasteries. 

And let's not forget about the food! Quito's culinary scene is a fusion of indigenous, Spanish, and international flavors.
