Quito's climate is often described as eternal spring, meaning balmy days between 8-21° C, warm direct sunlight cooled by light steady breezes, picturesque clouds that usually gather for a short afternoon shower, all capped by a cool--but not cold--darkness. The Quiteño saying, that the city experiences all four seasons in a single day, isn't far off the mark.
Although the capital does have two seasons, wet and dry, in recent years they have seemingly merged into one becoming much less distinct and considerably unreliable, however most days do see some, if not hours of, sun.
Student COMMENTS
Estimado Eugenio,
Finalmente volví a Inglaterra. Le agradezco por haber organizado mis viajes y mis estudios con mucha paciencia. Las 6 semanas en Ecuador
fueron unas de las más interesantes de mi vida.
I can whole heartedly recommend your language school Instituto Superior de Español. The concept of learning Spanish while travelling
is superb and your organizational talent in working out individual itineraries is admirable! For some spoilt visitors from rich countries
it might be hard to fit in with an Ecuadorian family, but it gives a unique opportunity to learn more about the country than the superficial impressions usually granted to tourists.
Many thanks to you, your team and the host families for the courtesy, patience and good humor which made my trip so enjoyable!
I can also recommend the very friendly and comfortable jungle lodge and rafting or kayaking excursions who's safety standards were better
than some European organizations I have encountered.
