]]>Basilica of the National Vow
The largest neo-Gothic church in South America is located in the very heart of Quito. Its construction started all the way back in 1882, but it took over a century for the basilica to be inaugurated, and it’s never been officially completed. If you ever get to visit it, make sure to ascend to the top of the towers and get amazing views of the city.

]]>In fact, Ecuador’s two biggest cities of Guayaquil and Quito illustrate these differences so well. Let’s take a look at why.
Guayaquil
Guayaquil is a city of 2.6 million people which is known as “The Pearl of the Pacific.” Located on a port leading into the Guayaquil Bay, this city has tropical vibes and hot temperatures. Here, you can eat the country’s best ceviche, stroll along the water on the Malecon boardwalk and take in a neighborhood like Las Peñas, which conserves some of the most impressive colonial architecture found in the country. This is a warm, active, and vibrant destination!
Quito
Quito, the capital of the country and the home to just over 2 million inhabitants, is geographically close to Guayaquil but so different! Located at over 9,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the cool, moderate climate of this city and its indigenous influences give it a very unique vibe. The historical center of the city is arguably the best-preserved in all of the world and was, along with Krakow, the first to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Run, don’t walk, here!

]]>Quito has plenty to see and do, but if you’re looking to get a true glimpse at what the city is like, here are three things that you must do.
Old Town
Quito’s Old Town, which has been immaculately preserved since its days as a splendid center of activity during Ecuador’s period as a Spanish colony, is a place to get lost in. Here, you’ll never get tired of walking through 18th-century roads and visiting small shops and little restaurants.

Quito’s location in the foothills of the Andes Mountains puts it in very close proximity to high mountain peaks. The city’s aerial lift costs only $17 for a round trip ticket that takes you from the city to the Cruz Loma lookout of the Pichincha Volcano, offering spectacular views of the city and hiking experience for those with experience.
It's a gondola lift in Quito, Ecuador, running from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma. It is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117m to 3,945 m. . .

Quito’s main cathedral is a neo-Gothic gem of architecture which was built at the end of the 19th century. The largest example of neo-Gothic architecture in the Americas, visitors can marvel at its cavernous interior or walk to the top of its towers to see panoramic views of Quito.
