A little bit about Quito...

Did you know that Quito was originally inhabited by the Caras and the Quitus? Later, in the beginning of the 16^th century, the territory was ruled by the Incas and it became the northern capital of their empire. Even though Atahualpa tried to make sure that the city did not fall into Spanish hands, the conquerors ended up building the colonial city on the Inca ruins around 1534.

Quito is the second highest capital in South America. Sprawling through a valley running north-south at the foot of Pichincha volcano, Quito’s setting is spectacular. The old colonial heart of the city is at the foot of Cerro El Panecillo, and the modern parts of the city are spilling eastwards. In 1978, UNESCO designated our city as a World Cultural Heritage Site because of its impressively preserved colonial architecture.

So make sure you don´t miss the opportunity of getting to know our city ¨Carita de Dios¨. In Casa 1028, we not only offer you a city tour, we also invite you to try traditional gourmet food. 

You will enjoy the impressive view of Quito at night while tasting the flavor of the best Ecuadorian ingredients. And don´t worry, it might get cold, but nothing that our traditional drink ¨canel-azo¨ can´t handle. Visit Casa 1028 for a unique experience!

Have you heard from a magical city called Quito? I bet you have!

Quito has the largest and best-preserved historic center of Latin America. Because of that, our city is a living museum with 2.2 million inhabitants that wake up every morning surrounded by the Andes Mountains.  

For too long, travelers have overlooked it for Ecuador's most famous attraction, the nearby Galapagos Islands. But not anymore. For the last 10 years, city planners have helped develop Quito into the most inviting city in Latin America by investing $500 million in improvements. This is why the city is one of the leading travel destinations in the world.

In Old Town alone, there are about 16 convents and monasteries. Also, 40 churches including the famed La Companía church, a great example of Baroque architecture and a very important city landmark. Come experience Quito through the eyes of Casa 1028, Ecuador´s first mobile restaurant. You will discover the magic of such a historic place and realize that the experience is unique; a revelation from start to finish. Being our guest is not only about the amazing panoramic view, is also about the opportunity to try Ecuadorian ingredients in a menu designed for the gourmet food lovers. Don´t miss it!
