The Mercure Quito Hotel is the site of this year’s Live and Invest in Ecuador conference. We have negotiated special room rates for attendees
of the event. To take advantage of these special rates, reservations must be made through Live and Invest Overseas. Contact the Conference Department at EcuadorConference@LiveandInvestOverseas.com or dial toll free from the U.S. 1-888-627-8834 to make your reservation.

Traveling to Ecuador

You’ll arrive at Quito’s downtown airport (airport code UIO) which is a 45-minute (25-mile) cab ride from the hotel.

Service is provided by most major airlines, such as United (Houston), American Airlines (Miami), JetBlue (Fort Lauderdale), or Delta (Atlanta), as well as Ecuador’s airline, TAME, which services New York (JFK).

Or you can compare them easily by viewing your options on Kayak, or an online travel service of your choice.

If you take a taxi from the airport to the hotel, the fare is around US$40, and the trip takes about 45 minutes.

Don’t forget: make your reservations soon in order to get the best rates and ensure availability.

Seeing more of Ecuador

One of the best ways to see Ecuador is on one of our pre- or post-conference tours. Contact our conference team for the latest info on tour options.

Driving in Ecuador

If you’d like to stay for a while and see the country by car, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license from your home country and you should have an International Driver’s License, available from AAA or in Canada, CAA. There’s no better way to explore Ecuador.

In Quito or Cuenca however,  we’d recommend that you use taxis instead of a rental car. Traffic is heavy, and driving can be stressful if you don’t know your way around.

Travel Insurance

To protect your travel investment, we strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you from all the unexpected events that can disrupt or cancel your travel plans.
