Quito, at an altitude of 2,850 meters, enjoys a temperate or subtropical mountain climate. So, while it’s on the Equator, it’s high up in the mountains. Temperatures are spring-like year-round, with a relatively short dry season from June to mid-September, and a rainy season the rest of the year. March is generally the wettest month. The ideal time to visit the country is during our summer, when you’ll find temperatures around 20°C and plenty of sunshine.

Départ conseillé

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audioguide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: Plaza de la Independencia

Parking à proximité

Dowtown Parking, rue Vicente Leon N7-41 It’s unlikely you’ll be driving in Ecuador. But for the few brave souls who do have a car, we recommend leaving it at your hotel if possible. Few accommodations have their own parking, but most hotels offer access to secure partner parking lots. Never leave valuables in your car!

À savoir

Contrary to what you might expect, Ecuador uses the US dollar (USD)! The country had its own currency until the year 2000—the sucre, named after General Sucre, the country’s liberator. But after the sucre collapsed, Ecuador adopted the US dollar to stabilize its economy. During your trip, you’ll mostly pay in cash. It’s best to use small bills, as large ones are often suspected of being counterfeit. You’ll also see sucre centavos still circulating alongside the dollar, with the same value to simplify small expenses. One sucre centavo equals one US cent. If you use your bank card, be aware that Ecuadorian banks charge a commission plus VAT when you withdraw cash. So, it’s ideal to bring your dollars from France to avoid poor exchange rates.
