Mariscal

Spend more than two or three days in Mariscal, Quito´s backpacker district- you are sure to make a few friends. Carl and I can´t go one block without running into some amigos we have fiesta´d with at a salsa or disco tech (club). Bars, shops, restaurants, travel agencies and hostels all squashed together to give the traveler everything he or she could need in a five block radius. Tres amigos found plenty of rum, salsa and tequila until the wee hours of the morning, more than once!
While the party life can be fun, Carl and I are leaving the big city today and heading south on a six city tour in the next ten days. Please check the blog as we will be listing our ¨mas favoritos¨ here in Quito and beyond.
