Quito
is the capital city of Ecuador in northwestern South America. It
is located in northern Ecuador (see NG MapMachine satellite map)
in the Guayllabamba river basin on the eastern slopes of the
Pichincha ( 15,728 ft; 4,794 m), an active stratovolcano in
the Andes mountains. At 9,300 ft (2,850 m) above sea level at
the Plaza de la Independencia, Quito is the second highest capital
city in the world. The population of Quito, according to the most
recent census (2001), was 1,399,378. In 2005, however, the
estimated population was 1,865,541 (canton). The area of Quito is
approximately 112 square miles (290 km˛). There
is some confusion about Quito's position as the second highest
capital in the world, but La Paz, Bolivia, which is where the
Bolivian government functions, is the governmental capital of
Bolivia. Sucre is the legal capital of Bolivia. Quito
is located about 22 miles (35 km) south of the equator. A
monument marking the equator is known locally as "la mitad
del mundo" (the middle of the world). Due to its altitude and
location, the climate in Quito is mild to cool, fairly constant
all year round, with a high temperature typically around 70
degrees Fahrenheit (21°C) on any given day. There are only two
seasons in Quito, summer (the dry season) and winter (the rainy
season). Quito
is the second most populous city in Ecuador after Guayaquil. By the Courtesy of Wikipedia |
