Train of the Volcanoes In Alexander von Humboldt’s foosteps http://trenecuador.com/en/train-of-the-volcanoes-in-alexander-von-humboldts-foosteps/
The first segment of track to be rehabilitated following the declaration of the Ecuadorian Railways as a national heritage, the journey from Quito south towards the great colossus of Cotopaxi has been running since 2009. It remains one of the most beautiful and memorable in the country.
The journey begins at the historic train station of Chimbacalle, whose history dates back to when the Guayaquil to Quito railway was finally completed in 1908. Here, amid this friendly neighbourhood – a mix of residential homes and businesses – the train sets off for its route southwards along the famous ‘Avenue of the Volcanoes’, thus named by the great Prussian explorer, Alexander Von Humboldt.

"Very Central facility"

Hotel San Francisco de Quito

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were fantastic, they helped me see tour options and arranged the taxi pick up and drop off for the airport run. They explained where things were e.g. the metro station and where my pick up point was for a tour I was going on. They were really friendly and professional, always smiling and happy to help make my stay the best. The hotel itself was also amazing, the atmosphere was really good and friendly. I’ll recommend and will stay again if I’m ever back in Quito. It’s also very close to lots of attractions. Thank you for a great stay. "

Wyndham Garden Quito

10/10 Excellent

"My friends and I showed up exactly at 10:30 PM when the restaurant was closing. We were soooo hungry after a long day of being stuck on the road. The chef and kitchen team were so kind, and still served us dinner (even though we were not staying there). We couldn’t have been more grateful as there were no available options around. The chef and staff made us feel welcomed and comfortable. So for our last day in Quito, my friend and I decided to ditch the Airbnb and stay here! The staff’s kindness that night, made us feel comfortable and happy to choose this location as our last location in Quito. We will definitely come back on our next visit :)"
