Go deeper

The best experiences in Quito (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Indigenous Culture

Ecuador has a rich indigenous heritage, particularly in the highlands. Ask permission before photographing people, especially at markets and ceremonies. Many Otavaleño and Kichwa communities welcome visitors but appreciate respectful engagement rather than tourist gawking.

Environmental Awareness

Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. Stay on marked trails in national parks and cloud forests. Do not touch or feed wildlife. Carry your rubbish out, as many highland trails lack bins. Respect the páramo ecosystem, which is fragile and slow to recover from damage.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Quito travel guide.
