TOP 2 city #BestinTravel 2016
Oil finances the reinvention of Quito, with s infrastructure. XXI emerging between the South American colonial architecture of the city center, protected by UNESCO. A new underground visitors move from the bus station for all the historic districts of the city; station, renovated, and the new airport tempt tourists with high purchasing power to supplement lifelong backpacker tourism.
Oil money flows more strongly than the waters of the headwaters of the Amazon. While still injecting capital to spruce up this mishmash of colonial architecture, Quito has a future and a glorious past. In the historical center it seems time stopped in the s. XVI, as well as the surrounding mountains, full of tradition, but the colorful modern face of the city is what will surely attract the traveler in 2016.
All this colonial charm will be much easier to go through the much publicized new metro network Quito, that will take visitors from the bus station for all neighborhoods of the city. A remodeled train station and a brand new airport will also help multiply visits the wealthy tourists, complementing the backpacking adventure tourism. If the schedule of events is reviewed, major golf tournaments and tennis courts, which can be combined with excursions to volcanoes detected. And in the urban skyline dynamic rise buildings, such as the Union of South American Nations, contrasting with centuries-old churches.
The city gains in confidence and accommodation options are on the rise. In 2016 the airport will have its first hotel (the Wyndham Grand Condor), which will be followed by others, but the most exciting project is expected to rejuvenate one of the oldest hotels in Quito, the historic Casa Pérez Pallares. In addition, any tourist want to miss the Equator, the Equator just north of the city, and put one foot in each hemisphere, although the line is really divided Quito which is drawn between the ancient and the modern.
The ancient monasteries and charismatic just stand in Quito, but the convent of San Diego for their art marvel. In case the unexpected presence of a painting by Hieronymus Bosch (everyone wonders how it got here) were not enough, there is a representation of the Last Supper in which the disciples give a good account of an Andean specialty, cuy a nothing common dish in the Middle East ...
Zazu occupies the zenith of modern Ecuadorian cuisine: it is a place to rub shoulders with the most promising young country and taste a ceviche (a dish of fish or seafood marinated very famous in Ecuador and Peru).
The vintage boutique style is fashionable in Quito, but Casa Gangotena was who created the trend. This glamorous mansion with 31 rooms is in the twenties, but opened as a hotel in 2011 with a reform that allowed him to recover all its splendor art nouveau.
