As Quito expanded at the turn of the last century, wealthy landowners flocked to the flourishing city center, leaving parcels and houses to laborers—woodworkers, cobblers, gardeners—who formed the neighborhood of La Floresta in 1917. Since then, it’s grown into a district where creativity
and community thrive—especially in the past decade. Those with an appreciation for the area’s history and architecture began going in on joint studios, restaurants, and galleries.
