La Mariscal

The Mariscal Sucre neighborhood in Quito, or "Gringolandia" as it has become to be known, is the main tourist hub of Quito. It runs from Parque El Ejido in the south up to Avenida Orellana in the north, and is centered around the roads Juan Leon Mera and Reina Victoria. Most of Quito's budget hostels are located here, as well as every tourist service you could possibly want.

For the tech-savvy travelers, Mariscal has many Internet cafés offering speedy connections and Skype. The neighborhood also offers other basic services like banks, laundromats and mini-marts. In Mariscal you will also find one of Quito's best bookstores, LibriMundi.

Most Quito travel agencies have their offices in Mariscal, so it's a good place to find a tour, whether you're looking for an international or domestic flight from Quito, a Galápagos cruise, an Amazon lodge stay or an Andean hiking adventure. Quality and prices vary a lot, so be sure to shop around before making any final decision.

I liked the energy of the area.

Quito Hot Spot

The place has everything for a traveler. It is not too bad at night as long as you stay in a group. And the restaurants are fair to good.
