Volunteer Projects in Quito, Ecuador

Quito the capital of Ecuador, is nestled in an Andean valley at an elevation of 9000 feet. The historic center of Quito, known as the "Old City" is replete with narrow and winding cobblestone streets, magnificent churches, and open squares. The importance of the colonial remnants found in the Old City prompted UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) to declare Quito a Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1979, THE BEST PLACE TO BE A VOLUNTEER.
