Area Description

Located in the friendly little village of La Merced on the outskirts of Quito. Many of the homes are weekend getaways. La Merced is known for its volcanic thermal baths, a 5 minute walk. Tiny town square with quaint church, small shops and internet services. Nearby is Sangolqui, (15 mins.) known for its market on Saturdays -- lots of fun! Great shopping, restaurants and movies are in San Rafael (10 min.) and Cumbaya (20 min.). .
