Quito, just south of the equator at 9,350 ft. and with a population of 1.5 million, lies at the foot of the Pinincha volcano in the gently sloping Central Valley of northern Ecuador. The Central Valley separates two major mountain ranges (cordilleras) of the Ecuadorian Andes and is known as the Avenue of the Volcanoes.
