    Getting TO/AROUND: We flew directly from Miami to Quito on Lan. It took about 3.5 hours for a cost of $435.

    Taxi from airport to Old Town was $7 though later we got one for $6. It cost less to the New Town as it's much, much closer.

    Getting around the Old Town is best on foot. Distances are short and you see more. You could get a taxi just about anywhere for $2.

    To get from the Old Town to New Town during the day we used the electric buses which are actually faster than taxis as they don't have to stop at all intersections. They are very cheap (25 cents) and entirely safe. At night it's probably best to take a taxi and that should cost about $4.

     did you think Quito was safe. did you take any anti-malaria or other preventative drugs before going to South America? I am worried about pickpockets. Please help! thanks, sandybird777 really great comments and pictures--you have been a lifesaver!    		asiantraveler Thu Apr 10, 2008 14:48 UTC

     Tremendous tips and photos! Recently, there have been some big gold discoveries in Ecuador. Quito looks like a great place to visit! Best regards from NJ, Bill    		b1bob Mon Nov 26, 2007 19:47 UTC
     Nice job! I couldn't find Cafe Fabiolito, but I did try the quimbolito.
