ReadPlan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Mariscal Sucre International Airport
Quito's international gateway, located in Tababela east of the city. Approve transfer times locally, and use an authorised taxi or pre-booked transfer rather than unlicensed cars at arrivals
TBA
to venue
Approx. 45-75 minutes to northern Quito depending on traffic
by car
Cotopaxi International Airport
Small domestic airport near Latacunga with limited scheduled service. Not a practical international arrival point for most exhibitors; confirm any connection before relying on it
TBA
to venue
Approx. 2 hours by road from Quito
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Northern Quito business hotels near the convention centre
Best base for exhibitors who need early build-up access and late stand hours at the Centro de Convenciones Metropolitano. Approx. nightly rate, confirm July availability.
La Carolina and Amazonas corridor hotels
Largest concentration of international business hotels, close to restaurants, banks and shopping. Approx. nightly rate, confirm rates and breakfast inclusion.
Centro Historico boutique and heritage hotels
Atmospheric colonial-quarter base suited to visitors combining the fair with sightseeing. Approx. nightly rate; allow extra time for the daily transfer.
Airport-area hotels
Useful for teams on very early departures, less practical for daily show attendance. Approx. nightly rate, confirm shuttle service to the airport.
Mid-range city hotels
Cost-controlled option for smaller exhibitor teams and visitors. Approx. nightly rate, confirm late check-in and airport transfer arrangements.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Quito Metro
The metro reaches the main commercial corridors but not the convention centre itself. Buy or top up a card at station ticket desks and use a short taxi or bus ride for the final leg toward the Centro de Convenciones Metropolitano.
Trolebus and municipal bus
The bus network is extensive and cheap, but crowded at peak hours. Keep small notes ready and watch your belongings on busy routes.
Airport taxi flat rate
Use an authorised airport taxi desk or pre-booked transfer rather than unlicensed drivers outside the terminal. Journey time depends heavily on traffic at entry to the city.
Airport bus
Cheapest airport transfer, but you will still need a taxi or metro connection to reach the hotels and convention centre. Not ideal with heavy luggage or exhibitor equipment.
Ride-hailing app
Ride-hailing is commonly used in Quito and gives a fixed in-app price, which helps when you do not speak Spanish. Match the plate number before getting in.
Street taxi
Keep small US dollar notes and confirm the fare before departure. Pre-booked or app-based taxis are safer after dark.
Private car and parking
Parking is the practical option if you carry display material or samples. Confirm heavy-vehicle access, load-in doors and build-up parking with the organiser before arrival.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Altitude at 2,850 metres
Quito sits high in the Andes and even fit visitors notice the thinner air on day one. Arrive a day early if your schedule allows, drink water through the day, and keep the first morning light on meetings.
Currency: US dollar
Ecuador uses the US dollar, so taxi fares, hotel bills and the on-site budget calculator are all in USD. Carry small notes and coins for taxis and market purchases; larger hotels accept cards.
Language and business etiquette
Spanish is the working language at the fair. A handshake and a title such as ingeniero or doctora is appreciated, and Spanish-language catalogues and business cards help with Ecuadorian operators and distributors.
July weather and UV
July is generally drier, with mild days and cold mornings and evenings. UV is intense at this elevation, so pack sun protection, a light rain layer and a warm jacket for after the halls close.
Tipping and restaurant bills
Restaurant bills commonly include a 10 percent service charge. Check the receipt before adding a tip, and keep small bills for informal eateries and taxis.
Getting around safely after dark
Use app-based or pre-booked taxis at night, avoid unlicensed cars and keep phones and bags out of sight in traffic. Ask your hotel to call a trusted taxi for late returns from the venue.
Show-day rhythm
Quito traffic is heaviest early morning and late afternoon. Plan to reach the Centro de Convenciones Metropolitano before the peak and leave the venue after the rush, or use the metro plus a short taxi for the final leg.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
