IS QUITO ECUADOR WORTH GOING..

Hi i have DL Skymiles which i want to get rid of before they expire.I am wondering if any of you can help me decide if i should use them going to Quito at the end of July/Aug.How many days do you need in quito,are there side trips ,places to stay etc.any info would be appreciated thanks Al NWA

Quito is beautiful. We stay at the Sheraton. Nuesta who works there as an information person hooked us up with a guide for the day. Marcio, our guide, took us to some point of interest and a whole day trip to Otovallo.

Please tell us more, SFO!
GUA is pretty cool place, too. Just returned and will do a "story".
DL is adding more service to Ecuador this fall, too. I'd like to know more about what to see/do etc.

THANKS SFO
A few more quesstions if i may.How many days do you think i need in Quito 3-4,i am looking for a quick trip but if 3-4 days is not enough i will plan accordingly.Also does the Sheraton give us crew.airline rates, i know years ago they used to give us 50 percent off the rack rate.Do you remember the rate you paid and also the rate for you private guide.thanks again AL NWA SOON TO BE DELTA YEAH YEAH YEAH

If the Sheraton isn't offering a non-crew rate , try the Mercure (King suites average $30-40) and Sofitel can be as much as $100. Space avail using contract SC006924872, code 32474.
Keep us posted with more info, please!

mrs767er thx so much for the hotel info one question the special contract number you gave me is that for the SHERATON how do i book it using this number through the 1-800 res number,i checked the mercure their rates are 130 per night guess because its high season,anyway thx again

I literally just got back from Quito today. I flew down on Friday night, partied that night, then woke up early on Saturday to climb Pinchina, we made it 14,200 ft before we got exhausted. Came back and took a bus to Mitad del Mundo, had dinner, then caught the 1030 back to ATL.

I'd say you only need two days to see the "major" stuff.

nwaflyguy,
I am not sure when you plan to go but I just put in the Mercure Quito for July 30 at 3 nights and it came back with a rate of $29.75 per night.
Use the rate code that mrs767er put up:
SC006924872, code 32474

PS I'd say it's "worth going to"

thanks thats exactly when im going 30jul for 3 nights i wasnt putting the correct codes in i got the 30 .00 per night thx again
