Here are some tips and tricks to help maximize your experience in Quito, Ecuador. This is based on my own personal experiences in this beautiful city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3 id=\"36\">The Best Time to Visit\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>To get the best weather, plan your visit between June and October. But remember that even during these months, Quito can be a bit chilly due to its high altitude. So pack accordingly. Remember there is no bad time to visit, it is located at the Equator with good weather year round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3 id=\"37\">Currency Exchange\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Ecuador has the US dollar as its official currency, so visitors from America don&#39;t need to worry about exchanging money prior to arriving. If you&#39;re coming from another country, though, it might be better if you change into dollars beforehand because not all local establishments accept foreign credit cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3 id=\"38\">Safety First\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>While Quito is generally safe for tourists, like any other major city, it has areas where extra caution should be taken, especially at night time or when alone. I recommend using Uber instead of hailing taxis off the street since prices are more transparent with ride-sharing apps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",{"content":50},"\u003Ch2 id=\"39\">Visit Quito with Voyagers Travel Company\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>There are plenty of other things to do in Quito.
