10 best Instagram spots in Quito.

You can find a lot of attractive Instagram spots in Ecuador’s capital. Everything from craters, lookouts, monuments and urban city life.

Here is a list of the 10 best Instagram spots in Quito.

1. Parque Itchimbia

Guess where I am?

A post shared by Vibeke • The Viking Abroad 🇳🇴 (@thevikingabroad) on

This amazing park is a perfect getaway from the busy city of Quito. It is great for families and dogs.

You will see this huge letters with a beautiful view of old town behind you.

2. Basilica del Voto Nacional

This is from after walking to the top in La Basilica. You will see the clock tower and El Panecillo in the middle.

3. Museo de Sitio Intiaan

This middle of the world museum is considered to be more exact on the equator than the Mitad del Mundo monument.

You can get a tour around the museum where you will experience cool experiments when you are on

the equator like balancing eggs etc.

4. Teleferiqo and Pichincha

Taking the cable cart Teleferiqo costs you around $8 dollars. You can hike up to the volcano

Pichincha which will take you around 4 hours. Make sure you have enough clothes on you. The Teleferiqo reaches up

to 4050 meters above sea level.

5.Crater Pululahua

If you are going to Mitad del Mundo you can drive further North and you will see Pululahua. You can also hike down to the crater.




6. Mitad del Mundo

 

Mitad del Mundo is a monument that was thought to be the middle of the equator, however, the French explorers missed it with roughly 200 meters.

7. El Panecillo

This is a view of El Panecillo from the old town. It is a steep walk up.

8. La Basilica from the inside

When you visit La Basilica you should go all the way to the top, on the way you will see this beautiful glasswork.

9. Skate park in La Carolina

To get the best atmosphere of the lively park, go to La Carolina on a Sunday afternoon.

10. Close up of Panecillo

    I didn’t realize that Quito was slap bang in the middle of the world, that’s interesting to know. I’d love to hike up the volcano although knowing me I’d probably take the cable car ;-). A photo with the Quito sign is a must

    Ecuador is a place that remains etched in memory. This is thanks to geography lessons in school.But the place really comes alive in your pictures with stunning effect. The unique and beautiful landscapes are really something one must experience. Hope to get there some day.

    These spots from Quito are very famous. I like the rozasa of the basilica very much. It is made of such small pieces of colorful glass but it’s so big compared to you in the same time.

    Gorgeous pictures! My friend from high school was born in Ecuador and loves it, she was always telling us about how beautiful it is. Now I’ve seen for myself 😉 I especially love the view from Pichincha!

    Loving the incredible variety in all these images, it’s a stunning portfolio. I have been to Quito once but was super jet-lagged and there for such short time that I didn’t really get to explore much but I can see how much I missed out. Next time!
