Quito is the capital city of Ecuador. It is situated on the slopes of the volcano Pichincha, in a narrow Andean valley at an elevation of 2,850 metres, just south of the Equator and has a population of around 1.7 million people. Its main industries produce textiles, pharmaceuticals, light consumer goods, and crafted objects of leather, wood, gold, and silver. The Trans-Ecuadorian Pipeline from the eastern oil fields in Napo province runs through Quito to Esmeraldas; another oil pipeline connects Quito with Guayaquil to the southwest.
