Where to eat in Quito?
In Quito, Id go to my favorite retaurant in all of Ecuador… Crepes and Waffles. And after having a bunch of delectable waffles, the talk that followed was all about waffles. They have what their name suggests and a lot more. There are ones in Quicentro Mall, El Jardin Mall and across the street form the Marriot.
What to do in Quito?
-Party with the hip locals at one of the many discos around the Plaza FOch in the Mariscal.
-Go up the Teleferico and check out the amazing views but dont stop there, continue on the hike along the ridge.
-Rent a bike in the Ejido Park on a Sunday and enjoy the Ciclovia, where the city closes off a main street only to bicycles every Sunday.
-Visit the Old Town around Plaza San Francisco, it is one of THE most picturesque old towns in all of South America and is a World Heritage Site.
– Shop in Quicentro Mall and El Jardin Mall, at least just to get a feel for what up-scale Ecuadorian life is like and people watch.
