I agree, I didn't find it bad. We were warned to not go down the streets with the tarp markets in them. but the city was amazing in it self. Get the taxis to use their meters though.
another side trip from quito (as the one suggest above is cool) is to go to otavalo (for the market) and cotachacci
also we flew out of quite to Coca for a 5 day trip to the amazon and stayed in a lodge there too.
Well I was in the amazon one of the civilized tribes actually
went and did a revenge killing on the uncivilized tribe and beheaded all the males in the tribe. This didn't effect our tribe but we met some people that were evacuated from their lodge to the one we were staying at on the last day.
