    Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa is a multi-use stadium in Quito, Ecuador built in 1951. It is currently used mostly for football matches. It is also used, from time to time, as a field for track events and a venue for musical performances. If Quito gets the Olympics one day, you might see the opening and closing ceremonies (as well as most track events) here. The stadium has a capacity of 40000. The home team, Club Deportivo El Nacional, and Universidad Catolica use the facility for their home games. Right here, Ecuador has won many key victories sometimes against the odds, securing their positions in JWorld Cup competition in 2002 and 2006. During the qualifying for Germany 2006, the home team successfully qualified and remained undefeated here.

     My friend...what a wonderful surprise to find your page on Quito. Especially considering we'll be there in 2 months. I've noted many of your tips...and will take some with us. Darn the exit tax though...!! Happy travels Nat!

     Great page! So much info. here that I will need to return for another go 'round! Must admit the quakes & volcanos make me a little nervous!    		Lunaina Wed May 7, 2008 05:55 UTC
     Great tips and pictures. I love the teleferico, I wonder if such a height would affect me too? But Quito looks good!
