Quito, Ecuador - Driving Tour 4K

Quito (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkito] Quechua: Kitu), officially San Francisco de Quito, is the capital of Ecuador, with an estimated population of 2.8 million in its metropolitan area. It is also the capital of the province of Pichincha. Quito is located in a valley on the eastern slopes of Pichincha, an active stratovolcano in the Andes.
Quito's elevation of 2,850 m (9,350 ft) makes it either the highest or the second highest capital city in the world. This varied standing is because Bolivia is a country with multiple capitals; if La Paz is considered the Bolivian national capital, it tops the list of highest capitals, but if Sucre is specified as the capital, then it is the second highest, behind Quito.
Quito is the political and cultural center of Ecuador as the country's major governmental, administrative, and cultural institutions are located within the city. The majority of transnational companies with a presence in Ecuador are headquartered there. It is also one of the country's two major industrial centers-the port city of Guayaquil being the other one.
The date of its first habitation is unknown, but archaeological evidence suggests that it was first settled by sedentary populations between 4400 and 1600 BC. In the late fifteenth century, the Inca Emperor Huayna Capac defeated the Quitu, the region's original inhabitants, and incorporated Quito into the Inca Empire, designating it into the capital of the Inca Empire's northern region. The Spanish conquest of the city in 1534 is the date most frequently cited as the city's official founding, making Quito the oldest capital in South America.
Quito's historic center is among the largest and best-preserved in the Americas. In 1978, Quito and Kraków were the first World Cultural Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO. Quito is the capital city closest to the Equator, which runs through the northern part of the metropolitan area in the parish of San Antonio.

QUITO DESTACA COMO UNA DE LAS MEJORES CAPITALES DE LATAM POR SU ORDEN. LIMPIEZA. CULTURA Y SU HERMOSA INFRAESTRUCTURA ANTIGUA Y MODERNA.. POR ESO HA GANADO OR SIETE AÑOS SEGUIDOS COMO MEJOR DESTINO TURÍSTICO DE SUDAMÉRICA!

Excelente video, sector financiero de Quito Norte, y su Centro Histórico el más grande de Sudamérica.

[@mikemendoza5643]

YO NO SE
SI ES POR LAS MONTAÑAS
LA CIUDAD LOS EDIFICIOS
LAS AVENIDAS LOS PARQUES
LAS CASAS LOS ARBOLES
EL FRIO DE ANDAR ABRIGADO
REALMENTE NO LO SE NO SE COMO EXPRESAR LO QUE CIENTO Y VEO
PERO QUITO ES LA CIUDAD MAS HERMOSA QUE TIENE EL ECUADOR
APARTE DE GUAYAQUIL Y MANTA
QUITO ES SIN PALABRAS DEL CORAZÓN Y QUE DIOS BENDIGA A ECUADOR

No me gusto este video mudo. La zona moderna, comercial y financiera esta conformada por enormes parques, avenidas y edificaciones que no se observan.
El Centro Historico de Quito, declarado por la Unesco como de los mejores del mundo. No se observa nada de nada. Templos, museos, palacios, edificaciones historicas de 500 años, no se observa una sola.
Muy triste he mirado este video.

Carefool friend, ecuador is poor and warning country
Love from Paraguay🇵🇾

[@zantiagocho]

qué es paraguay ??

[@rafaelandradecarranco5215]

@PlanetaInfantil...,como países sudamericanos debemos respaldarnos y resaltar lo mejor de cada uno. Para mi, Paraguay debe ser un bonito país, pero Ecuador es mejor en todo sentido. Abrazo fraterno a todos los paraguayos.

[@Lucasramii]

@@rafaelandradecarranco5215 ecuador no es mejor que Paraguay en nada😅

[@manucovirtual]

Paraguay está muy atrás de Ecuador, no hay comparación. Ecuador país con salida al mar, grandes puertos marítimos, Aeropuertos, infraestructura vial, tren subterráneo.. Grsndes edificios, ciudades costeras bellísimas.. Guayaquil con 3 millones de habitantes es la ciudad más importante de Ecuador, tenemos muchas riquezas amigo de Paraguay.

@@manucovirtualParaguay detrás de ecuador?🤣 Paraguay es superior a ecuador en casi todo señor, Paraguay le gana en casi todo a ecuador sin ofender
