If there were still any doubt about whether Quito is safe destination, let this weekend's Wall Street Journal settle the matter once and for all. The issue first came up a 2007 San Francisco Chronicle article by my Lonely Planet Colleague, Danny Palmerlee, about Quito's civic investment and revitalization. In 2008, Chris Kraul gave Los Angeles Times readers a detailed report of how much safer and beautiful the city's 500-year-old historic center has become, and the same year I offered some suggestions about Old Town and other cool new things to do in Quito in a New York Times article. I addressed safety issues in a New York Times Travel Blog Q & A last year as well.
So, at least we have some good news to balance out the plane crashes, volcanic eruptions, political coups, and endless airport construction delays!
