Quito (or Kitu in Quechua, and formally known as San Francisco de Quito) is the capital of Ecuador. The city comes closer than any other capital city to the equator, and at an elevation of 9,350 feet above sea level, it is the second-highest official capital city in the world. Quito is situated in the Guayllabamba river basin, on the eastern slopes of Pichincha, an active stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains.
In 2008, the city was designated as the headquarters of the Union of South American Nations.
The historic center of Quito is one of the largest, least-altered, and best-preserved in the Americas. Quito and Kraków, Poland, were the first World Cultural Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO, in 1978. The central square of Quito is located about 16 miles south of the equator; the city itself extends to within about 1 kilometer (or 0.62 miles) of zero latitude.
