What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Quito for November 1 to 15, 2026, round trips of 3 to 5 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The parade is long and the drinking starts early; go for the morning.
- Chugchucaras, fried pork with everything, is the local dish.
- Latacunga is about two hours south of Quito's airport by the Panamericana; buses run from Quitumbe terminal.
