How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Win A Trip to Explore Quito at the #FamTimeQuito Twitter Party!

in Travel on 05/22/15

Do you love to travel and crave adventure?  Are you always looking for a new place for your family to explore?  Then I can’t wait to tell you about Quito!  The city of Quito Ecuador is truly located in the middle of the world.  With a latitude of 0-0’-0’’, it makes the city, and the country itself, unique.

This capital of Ecuador is situated in an Andean valley at the very foot of a Volcano, and like something out of a fairytale,  Quito is in fact two cities in one.   The old city, where the architecture has remained unchanged since the end of the colonial period and the new city which boasts modern office buildings and bustling crowds.  Quito Ecuador is a place, with something new to discover around every corner, and it’s ready and waiting for you and your family to explore.  11344687394_c045d2d141_k-1024x680

Where would you start on your adventure in Quito?  Perhaps your tour would include diving into the many diverse museums, exploring the countless art galleries,  or taking a self guided tour of the local cuisine.

After a quiet day exploring the cultural side of the city, you could venture just outside of Quito where you can take in the stunning landscape while horseback riding, partaking in an organized hike or even explore the diverse area by mountain bike.

I know where my adventure in Quito would start.  I yearn to explore the old town streets of La Ronda.

RONDA-3_thumb710x380xcrop

It is Quito’s oldest street and known for food, crafts, and outdoor entertainment.  I can see myself taking long walks navigating the narrow, cobblestone streets, Spanish-style architecture, homes with colourful balconies, and tiled roofs.  To spend an afternoon exploring and shopping the markets for local treasures would be time well spent.  Don’t forget your camera! 

Would you like to learn more about Quito and maybe even do a little dreaming and vacation planning right along with me? How about having the chance to win your very own resort stay at one of Quito’s Premier 4* Resorts?   YES! You read that right?

Who wants to win a trip for two to explore all that Quito has to offer?
