Should I visit Warwick Parish or Quito? This is a common question asked by many travelers.

So, let's dive into the details and the data, which all comes from actual travelers.

Where Should I go: Warwick Parish or Quito?

Warwick Parish

One of the nine parishes of Bermuda, Warwick Parish is named for Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick, and is located in the central south mainland of the island chain. It occupies an area southeast of the Great Sound, including a few of the islands that lie within the sound itself. Though it covers only about 2.3 square miles, Warwick has much to offer in natural features and islands, as well as activities from water sports and swimming to golfing and horseback riding. As a seaside town, the area can be toured by land or by sea.

Quito

Nestled between two mountain ranges lies the world's highest capital city, Quito, Ecuador. For history lovers, Quito is a very desirable destination as it's home to the Quito Historic Center – one of the largest and best-preserved historic centers in the Americas.

Even though Quito is full of people – in fact, it's the second most populous city in the country – very few of its inhabitants speak English. Luckily, however, the citizens of Quito tend to speak a slower and more clear Spanish than surrounding areas. This is the perfect place to practice what you read in your Intro to Spanish book.

Before visiting Quito, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, give yourself a few days to grow accustomed to the elevation. Staying 9,350 feet above sea level takes some getting used to. Second, don't be fooled into thinking that just because you're visiting a town on the equator that you'll need all your summer clothes. Because of the city's elevation, the area keeps a relatively cool climate year round.
