in Quito
A UNESCO-listed colonial centre perched at 2,850m in the Andes, straddling the equator with volcanoes, vibrant markets, and cloud forests on the doorstep.
Travel better in Quito with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Quito spends about ~$25–50 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Quito.
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.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.

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.
