Field notes
Sitting on the equator at 2,850m altitude — perpetually 14-15°C, all year. Dry season (June–September) is the bright window; wet season (October–May) brings daily afternoon rain. UV is intense at altitude — sunscreen matters more than the temperature suggests.
Cost of living in Quito: ~$1,250/mo
Mid-tier monthly across rent, food, transport, utilities, and coworking.
