In Quito we stay at the Hilton Colon, selected specifically for comfort and convenience after a long flight. A luxury hotel in the city’s financial district, it is located across the street from a large park with a weekly crafts market. Upon arrival you enter the hotel’s grand foyer with a view of the park just outside the expansive windows. The Hilton Colon has 399 rooms and suites, with air conditioning, hair dryers and in-room safes, along with many other first-class hotel amenities to assure a comfortable stay. The hotel has three restaurants to choose from, and a fitness room and indoor and outdoor swimming pools for those with free time for recreation.
Towering mountains and volcanoes surround the high-altitude city of Quito, while lies at 9,000 feet, enjoying a climate of 'perpetual spring.' The city's rich history, well-preserved Old Town and prominent landmarks have earned it status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If time allows, a city tour is a must, to discover the many beguiling aspects of one of South America’s most beautiful capitals.
The Hilton Colon is our mainland accommodation for all 2013 Classic, Family, Photo and Ultimate Galapagos programs.
Together, Natural Habitat Adventures and World Wildlife Fund have teamed up to arrange nearly 100 nature travel experiences around the planet, while helping to protect the magnificent places we visit and their wild inhabitants.
