Quito, Ecuador
Quito is the Southern California of South America, meaning that you’ll enjoy spring-like weather all year round, so anytime is a good time to visit. It’s a little high up in the mountains, so you’ll catch a nice breeze in the evenings sometimes, but the chill and the hike are worth it. Spend your days exploring the surrounding volcanoes or climbing the steps up the popular Basilica del Voto National. You should also pay a visit to the Monastary of San Francisco and spend a day among the monks, if you’ve got time.
