    Getting TO/AROUND: This trip to Ecuador started in Schiphol airport (near Amsterdam - Holland)

    We had two stops, first one was in Bonaire (Dutch Caribbean) and the second was in Guayaquil (Ecuador).

    And like that we arrived after a flight of 15 hours (stops included) in Quito.

    The flight back home (Quito - Schiphol) had only one stop (in Bonaire), and traveltime was 12 hours.

    As always, the service on board was very good.

    Getting TO/AROUND: As most interesting sightseeing points are located centrally in the old part of Quito, it can easily be done on foot.

    Just be careful, whenever it is your first day in Ecuador. Do it slowly, do not forget that you are at 2800 m altitude.
    If you feel a bit dizzy or weak, stop walking around, and go to your hotel to rest and let your body acclimatize.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are plenty of busses and trolleys in Quito.

    Just be careful for your belongings as these busses are mostly very full. And the danger of encountering a pickpocket is very big over here.
    Leave are your valuable items in the hotel safe and take a cop of your passport, as there are regular checks from the local police.

     Interesting tips. Did you have personal experience of getting robbed there?

     Thank you! Your tips were helpful in planning for a possible trip there later this year.    		zrim Thu Aug 18, 2005 22:12 UTC
     Beautiful skies. Beautifl music under the stars. Great colonial architecture. Quito seems like a great bonus for a Galapagos trip.
