A #Quito #vacation means balance. Its World Heritage protected Old Town is contrasted by its progressive New Town.<\/p>\n<p>The New Town, or La Mariscal, is centered on the bustling Plaza del Quinde and has markets, trendy caf\u00e9s and nightlife. #Visit the Plaza de la Independencia, the Civic heart of Old Town, overlooked by the Municipal Palace, Archbishop\u2019s Palace and Presidential Palace.<\/p>\n<p>The Pichincha Volcano was once the setting of a historic battle that resulted in Quito\u2019s liberation from Spain. But it\u2019s the Cotopaxi Volcano, that is the Quito\u2019s most famous landmark. While in the area, you can\u2019t miss the Mitad del Mundo Monument and the Inti\u00f1an Solar Museum where you walk the line of the equator and be in two hemispheres at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it. <\/p>\n<p>More travel information around Quito: https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Quito.dx6053672\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on social media:<br \/>\nFACEBOOK: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expedia<br \/>\nTWITTER: https:\/\/twitter.com\/Expedia<br \/>\nINSTAGRAM: https:\/\/instagram.com\/expedia\/<br \/>\nPINTEREST: https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/expedia<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>0:00 &#8211; Quito<br \/>\n1:13 &#8211; Pichincha Volcano<br \/>\n1:37 &#8211; Metropolitan Cathedral<br \/>\n2:02 &#8211; Basilica de la Merced<br \/>\n2:22 &#8211; Plaza de la Independencia<br \/>\n2:46 &#8211; Archbishop\u2019s Palace<br \/>\n3:07 &#8211; Itchimbia Park<br \/>\n3:28 &#8211; Basilica of the National Vow<br \/>\n4:25 &#8211; Church of the Society of Jesus<br \/>\n4:45 &#8211; Calle La Ronda<br \/>\n4:58 &#8211; La Mariscal<br \/>\n5:10 &#8211; Craft Market<br \/>\n5:22 &#8211; Guapulo<br \/>\n5:34 &#8211; The Valley of Lulumbamba<br \/>\n6:01 &#8211; Intinan Solar Museum<br \/>\n6:31 &#8211; Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve<br \/>\n7:01 &#8211; Maquipucuna Cloud Forest Reserve<br \/>\n7:16 &#8211; Cotopaxi National Park<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YvjDH8ElY2g\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quito \u2013 Welcome to the closest national capital to the sun and join us as we explore all its hottest attractions.
