Quito?

cactusjack75 · February 24, 2020

Hey guys - there are some amazing airfares in May to Quito Ecuador out of my home city of Toronto. I've done a search of the forum and not much at all on Quito or Ecuador in general. Is there anyone who has tried it out? If yes, what was your impressions of the boys there (also city in general). Was it worth it? Ideas on where to stay? Any guest friendly hotels? Best places to hook up and how is grindr?

I figure this is a long shot as practically nobody writes about Ecuador in here. I went to Lima last year and had a great time with the boys there so thinking Quito might surprise. Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated?

The Ecuadoreans say the mountain people (like Quitenos) are cold and reserved, while the coastal people are warm and outgoing. Therefore, Guayaquil might be your better bet. Many, many years ago, Guayaquil had a porno theater that was a riotous orgy where queens were sucking off one straight guy after another sitting in a row. However, video killed the porno theater stars, and there is very little "scene" of any kind in Ecuador compared to the bigger countries. Guayaquil does not otherwise have much tourist attraction.

Quito is a beautiful big city. They have cleaned up the streets so the old colonial area is now quite safe and sparkling. The zona rosa and modern city are to the north. The pollution is kind of bad, though, so you must get out of the city because the mountain region of Ecuador has some of the most beautiful landscapes I've seen in all my travels. Weather permitting, try to make it at least to the "avenue of the volcanoes," which is just an hour or so south of Quito.

Thanks so much for the reply. I definitely want to check out Quito just for the touristic value of the city. Everything you wrote about it seems to be appeal and I love to explore cities, especially those with history. I didn't have Guayaquil in mind but might be worth a trip. I'll look into that more and thanks for the great info again!

If you have the time to do a drive down to Cuenca, a smaller version of Quito (I've heard a few people say Cuenca was what they had expected Quito to be), you will see some of the most gorgeous scenery in South America along the way, including the valley of the volcanoes (weather-permitting, of course, as it can be rainy and cloudy in the Andes). The highway is now very good and the drive can be done in about 6 hours. However, if you break it into 2-3 days, you can also detour to the Quilotoa crater lake for more deserty scenery or to Banos for a more jungle/tropical feel. An hour up the mountains from Cuenca is the Cajas park, a high altitude moor-like watershed with lakes and orchids and fresh trout. Honestly, I know of few other countries with such incredibly diverse and beautiful scenery crammed in a small area, and we haven't even talked about the Galapagos Islands yet. But I can't help you much on the more carnal attractions.

Ecuador is one of the cheapest escort markets in Latin America. I went there several years ago during a South American trip. The hottest guys are in Brazil and Argentina but the best most passionate less expensive fuckers where in Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Unfortunately it seems that there aren't many guys advertising on Rentmen in those countries. There are local websites in each country where you can find escorts but the quality you will get is a hit or miss. You can also use the mobile apps like Grindr and such where you will find young guys offering their services in a discreet way.
