Book a transfer from Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) to your hotel in Quito — the safest and most convenient way to reach Ecuador's historic capital perched at 2,850 meters in the Andes.
The 37 km journey takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on traffic, heading south from the modern airport (opened 2013) through the Quito valley. The airport sits at a higher elevation east of the city.
Quito is one of the world's great cities — the highest official capital in the world and the first city named a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1978). The colonial old town (Centro Histórico) is the largest and best-preserved in the Americas, a magnificent collection of 16th and 17th-century churches, convents, and plazas. The Compañía de Jesús church with its seven tons of gold leaf, the Plaza Grande with the Presidential Palace, the Basílica del Voto Nacional (climb the towers for panoramic views), and the Mitad del Mundo equator monument are highlights. The TelefériQo cable car rises to 4,050 meters on the slopes of Pichincha volcano for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding volcanoes. Quito's food scene showcases locro de papa, hornado, and fresh ceviche.
