+ Add a Photo

By Paula Newton

Located in the lush central lowland area of northern Ecuador, Santo Domingo de los Colorados is a huge transportation hub, linking Quito and the Sierra to the coastal regions of Ecuador. The city is 129 kilometers from Quito, and the area is of great importance to both the banana and palm olive industries, hence the good road links.
