BEST of QUITO ECUADOR - Everything to Do and See in 24 HOURS (Worth Visiting?)

In today's video, I will be traveling to Quito, Ecuador! 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, at an elevation of 2,850 m (9,350 ft), making it the second-highest capital city in the world. It is also near the large volcano or Cotopaxi which tourists flock to hike the volcano yearly.
From Banos, Ecuador, I took the bus and headed to Quito. When I arrived, I headed straight to El TeleferiQo, a gondola lift running from the edge of the city center up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma. It is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117 m (10,226 ft) to 3,945 m. Afterward, I then headed to La Mitad del Mundo and visited the Museo Intinan along the way. There, I walked along the equatorial line, balanced an egg, and learned about the rotational forces of the global at the equator, in the northern, and southern hemispheres.
Lastly, I headed to The Basilica del Voto Nacional in Quito and then walked around the city center in Centro Historico. The Centro Historico in Quito is also a UNESCO site. Join me on this adventure in the capital of one of the world's most biologically diverse countries, Quito, Ecuador!
