You step off the plane into thin, cool air and the Andes meet you at the terminal: a bright, high-altitude valley with the city spread across its slopes. A driver waits with a sign, and the first kilometers of your Ecuador visit are a transition from salt-streaked runway to the mosaic of Quito neighborhoods — commercial corridors give way to leafy avenues as you head toward the historic center or the eastern suburbs.
