Zona Norte: Quito

In the north is modern Quito. If you enter through Avenida de la Prensa, you will find the first stop, the Aeropuerto Internacional Mariscal Sucre. Take Amazonas Avenue, which has some large shopping centers. One such is Mall El Jardín, located right in front of Parque La Carolina, the largest recreational park inside the city. In this part of the city you will find fine restaurants such as Rincón la Ronda, which serves typical Ecuadorian food. Due to the rapid growth of the northern zone, the new city is called Distrito Metropolitano de Quito. It is a very touristic, commercial area, where some of the most important hotels are to be found, including the J.W. Marriot, one of the largest in Ecuador. Also here is the city's most important stadium, the Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa, and most of the larger movie theaters such as Cinemark 7. The main roads in the north are Amazonas, de los Shyris, Naciones Unidas, González Suárez, 6 de Diciembre, 10 de Agosto, Eloy Alfaro, and La Occidental. © WCities
