You're Green, You're Beautiful, You're High Quito!
Where are you going this winter? I think go south. Far south though. Ecuador for example? It could be Quito. It's a lush place, too.

If your holiday concept is not to visit a few capitals in Europe and return home after shopping brutally, it's time to turn your head a little further. You can go anywhere on the planet after you've already found a suitable flight ticket, why not?

Quito, this charming capital of Ecuador, is a green city surrounded by the Andes Mountains. High as well. Even higher than Erzurum. But do not be afraid, do not stuff such thick sweaters in the suitcase, you will not feel cold. Why? Because Ecuador. Moon, that is the Equator! It's the equator line! The beauty of the tropical climate... Stop traveling with a suitcase anyway, one bag will be enough for everything.

So if nothing else, the magnificent weather will impress you in Quito. A very small part of the country is already in the northern hemisphere, and the other part is in the southern hemisphere. How cool it is to even have some of our lands in Asia and some in Europe, imagine the weather of Quito. But you will come across a very sweet, very humble city. I guess this modesty is proportional to poverty.

The people are really poor. Ecuador survived a major crisis in 2000 and as of that year, the US dollar is used here. Do not be alarmed by the fact that the currency is dollar, after all, every country is expensive when indexed to TL. But here public transport costs twenty-five cents, and a meal costs two and a half dollars. So you come to a very poor, warm country where life is cheap.

Languages ​​and People
You will often come across people selling coke on asphalt, sewing on the roadside, popping up on intercity buses and selling sweets. This is the general livelihood of the citizen who does not have a job at the desk. And these citizens, even all the citizens of the city and the whole country, will often be telling you something in their own language, regardless of the fact that you don't know a word of Spanish.

Please get rid of the 'I know English somehow, I can go anywhere on the planet' stereotype. Knowing only English will not be of any use to you in Ecuador, and you will be able to travel anywhere on the planet as long as you find cheap air tickets, not knowing English.

Although the official language is Spanish, there are two other languages ​​spoken by the people here: Quechua and Shuar. Of course, you will not find speakers of these languages ​​in Quito and other major cities. But if you still know Spanish, don't be too happy about it, you will hear a very different and up-tempo Spanish here than Castellano. There are some letters and words that are swallowed both very fast and during that speed. For the first few days, you probably won't understand a word! In the next days, you will talk but you will not understand. People can understand but not speak a foreign language, you know, things are a little different here. While you have already been able to communicate in a way that will tell your troubles during your trip, your interlocutor will probably continue to speak with full rein and never be understood. Call those languages ​​'despasido' as in the rosewood song, you too. This way you will be asking him to speak more slowly. I hope the other person cares about your request and makes his speech understandable.

I said I hope so because weird people are Ecuadorians. Everyone thinks that I know Spanish somehow, this tourist does not know how. I don't know if it is naivety, isolation or lack of education, but people have a heartfelt expectation and delusion that you speak Spanish. You are coming to a very lively place where you will save thousands of memories, so be ready.

However, just in case, download the Google Translate app to your phone before you arrive. Maybe this is the only way to get along with your interlocutor who doesn't understand the despasido command. In fact, I recommend you to stack many applications that you can use offline, such as this one, on your phone. Because the internet in the country is quite slow and expensive. Even if you think that you will find free wi-fi in city squares, public transportation and cafes, I would like to remind you that this is a third world country. As you witness the absences and deprivations, you will remember this deeply every time.

Some Precautions
Being a backward country has many dangers. Ecuador, especially Quito, is usually a place to keep your eyes peeled. There is no need for paranoia, but; The more likely you are to meet helpful and hospitable people, the more likely it is that your phone will fly out of your hand while on a call. Or, while you are walking softly on your back, that bag falls into wild hands in a few seconds...

A man used to say that they would even steal his soul from the man's skin, for Istanbul in a movie. Please let that man come and walk the streets of Quito one night.

So, what to do when theft is rampant in a city?

Never let it go that you are a tourist. Because while the citizen does not do much harm to the citizen, tourists are here as a potential prey. For example, never hang your backpack in front of you as if to say, "Look, I'm carrying a passport and some money in this bag," and don't clasp your hands together as if you want to protect that bag. Even if necessary, do not go out with a bag. It will sound like a joke, but don't take your passport with you. Just carry a copy or a photo on your phone. But please do not take that phone in your hands in public places. Put the small amount of money you carry with you in a solid pocket... And the streets are yours now!

You can walk freely on the streets as if the neighborhood was yours, as if your father was the headman, without a purse, without a wallet, and especially without a camera. Be sure, they will turn from the road and even ask for the address.

So yes, security is the most important factor for you when you go to a city. Salt Quito is not just Ecuador; South America is like a huge Tarlabaşı on its own. Yes, it's a dangerous place. But as long as you don't wander around the deserted streets at night, and your father pretends to be the headman of the neighborhood during the day; In other words, no extortionist, no pickpocket will even approach you unless you make it sound like you are a tourist. Even if they approach, they will only try to hurt your property, not your life.

My dear Ecuador, you are so cute even with the thief's ominous!

I hope these mind-blowing security measures won't stop you from wanting to see this beautiful land. Because Ecuador is a country worth experiencing this adrenaline rush. Quito is the cutest city here, and it's very high. Even higher than Erzurum.

When to go
Anytime you want. Indeed, in any month of the year, whenever you feel like it, then beautiful Quito. There are already two seasons in the whole country, the rainy season and the dry season. However, if you want to travel comfortably without rain and mud, the ideal time to come here is between June and September. But I think the roads are also beautiful with rain and mud.

And finally, let's say you are walking in the streets of Quito in a rainless and mudless season, without a purse or a purse...

With its parks, mountains, squares...
As soon as you arrive, you can encounter a dance show in the town square at any time, because the president calls out to the people every week from the parliament building. Bare-footed sisters and brothers, each more beautiful than the other, bend their waists in honor of the president, in honor of the people. If you come across the historical square, I say turn your head and have a look. But let's pay attention to the money in the pocket and the phone, so that all the security measures are not wasted. Just in case.

There is also El Panecillo, which is the rasp of life that you can watch the city under your feet! So not in a bad way. There are many steps. You reach El Panecillo by climbing a long staircase, step by step. If you have an obsession with counting objects, sequential things, you can skip this. But when you finish the steps and reach the top, the green and blue you see will be worth it.

During the day, especially on Sundays, I'm bored, whatever you want to do, Park Metropolitan will embrace you with love. Because you won't find any open place other than parks on Sunday. Quito has dozens of beautiful parks that you can breathe in, this Metropolitan Park is the largest in Latin America, what more could you ask for! It's so clean and safe as if it's a part of the city, it's worth spending the whole day to see what you see. A great place to go with your book, dog, harmonica and spend the day.

If you say you will breathe mountain air as soon as the park cuts me off, let's take you to the foothills of Pichincha from here. It is possible to reach this volcano easily from the city. If you have a fear of heights, I would say think twice before arriving in Pichincha, because to access the areas where you will hike, a compulsory and plenty of rocking cable car ride is a must. It's also quite shaky and long. If you have a fear of heights, a fear of flying, how did you get to Quito, right? I'm also bullshit. The mountain air blew my mind.

Pichincha has two peaks, Quechua Pichincha and Guagua Pichincha, meaning Father Pichincha and Son Pichincha. Whatever son climb to the top is, Baba Pichincha is a bit of a challenge. But those who tried returned without regret, let me tell you.

You will visit La Mitad del Mundo in the first days of your trip. How strange to be in this part of the world. La Mitad del Mundo! That is the middle of the world. That is Equator! You can now make jumping poses with one foot on the southern half of the globe and the other on the northern half, or just above the equator line, inherited.

Budget Friendly Quito!
The best part of the job; It is possible to go to all these places in the city I mentioned for only twenty-five cents by public transport. Taxis are also very convenient.

In my opinion, cheapness is the most beautiful accessory of a city. For example, staying in hostels is also around 8-10 dollars in Quito. But in small places, it is possible to find a place to stay even for 4-5 dollars. I don't know how it compares to other Latin American countries, but it's pretty cheap for an average resort.

But I don't know whether this cheapness, the greenery that surrounds me, the oceans that surround us, the colorful fruits that I have never tasted in my life, I don't know what you will be hit with when you come to Ecuador. But whatever anyone is looking for, they will find it here, I'm sure of it.

Since I love being cheap, let me remind you that the entrance to many ruins (such as Pululahua, Quilotoa) is free of charge. Entrance to museums and places of worship is between $2-5 depending on the type.

What Should We Eat and Drink?
Rice is eaten at every meal here. While breakfast and dinner are passable meals, lunch is crucial. People who start work at seven in the morning and take a break like one at noon are once again revived with a satisfying lunch. With rice, of course. I can't help but emphasize that rice is eaten even for breakfast in some houses, although it is not very common. The plain rice pilaf we know.

I have seen very little that fruit juice is not served with meals. Freshly squeezed tropical fruit juices. I think the best part of this place is the fruits. If you get tired of rice, you can have a feast with fruits only.

Also, plantain, which I call a cookable banana, has the same external and internal appearance as a banana and is in a completely different category in terms of taste, and often accompanies meat or chicken dishes.

It is possible to come across almost everything in soups. You can even consume a bowl of soup instead of the main course, it is that satisfying. Soup types, which are generally thick, are preferred for lunch. I once came across a soup with chicken feet and corn on the cob. You can taste the best of these surprise soups, not in restaurants, but at the homes of people you meet and make friends with. It's the most delicious that way.

Eating the meat of a guinea pig-like animal is also quite common and unique to this region. It's not my duty to say don't come back without eating, but there are a lot of people who love and those who don't.

When You're Ready...
I think the cliché 'don't come back without eating this too' is such a fuzzy advice, and the cliché 'don't come back without doing it' is a big lie in my opinion. After all, everyone has a different understanding of travel. But I guess I would have felt incomplete if I had returned without seeing Cotopaxi and Quilotoa around Quito. Please do not return home without seeing these beauties around!

Of course, the mountain is like a mountain; Although Cotopaxi resembles our own Mount Ararat from afar, I have yet to see the like of Quilotoa.

Since we're heading towards Quito, I'd say come and visit Baños, Cuenca, Montañita, Otovalo as well. How many times can we be on this side of the world again?

Just kidding, no need to dramatize that much. Everything looks like a plane ticket, the world is too small now.

time to go
In order to reach all these beautiful places around, our first goal is the lofty Quito!

Although it is not compulsory, this is a place as close as you can get by first plane without having to worry about a visa after getting your yellow fever, hepatitis A-B and typhoid vaccines, just in case. If you're lucky, you can even fly with at least one transfer.

And he will see what else there is, I do not want to waste it with words. It's a heavenly place worth visiting. The whole country is like that.

Quito is the right address if you want to go far from my home, stay away from the city life, but have a lot of green and blue in it. Don't get me wrong, that blue is not the blue of the ocean, by the way. The blue of the sky. It's high, you know, the sky is brighter than usual, and your head seems to be touching the clouds.

I wish you to discover many places by yourself that I could not convey... Because it tastes the best.

Happy flights!
