Things to do nearby
Quito draws remote workers for a low cost of living, a well-preserved colonial old town, and easy access to volcanoes and cloud forest, offset by high altitude and a cool climate year-round.
La Mariscal — nomad and backpacker hub, hostels, nightlife, central
La Floresta — bohemian, cafes, arts, quieter than Mariscal
Cumbayá — upscale valley suburb, warmer climate, expat families
Centro Histórico — colonial old town, touristic, less nomad-based
Getting around
BRT lines and buses cover the elongated city; walkable within neighborhoods but altitude and hills matter; airport is 40-60 minutes from center by taxi.

About
Pangea's three-week coworking chapter in Quito, Ecuador. Accommodation not included — book separately (Pangea helps you find a place). The pass covers the community side: events and dinners, a local host and orientation, and a WhatsApp group. A coworking space isn't included either; Pangea points you to the best spots. It runs only if enough people sign up. Registration is on Luma, and the host approves each application. Disclosure: Caroline Lupini, who runs colivingDB, is part of the Pangea team.
