		<description><![CDATA[There are two options to get from Quito (Ecuador) and across the border into Colombia, both of which are quite straightforward (updated 2018).

Quito&#8217;s historic centre is one of the largest, least-altered and best-preserved in the Americas and moreover Quito, along with Kraków, were the first World Cultural Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO in 1978.

But the other 40% of the 2.1 million square miles of rainforest sprawls across another 8 Latin American nations, one of which being Ecuador, which is where we spent an incredible four days.
