This avenue runs through the new part of Quito for almost 10km. Along it are some of the international hotels like Hilton Colon and Marriot, banks and shopping options, the Spanish consulate and further north the Botanical gardens. In contrast to the old town, the ambiance is modern.
For me the main reason going to Amazonas are the casa de cambio (money changers), that generally offer better rates than the banks and are easier to access.

Today is New Year's Eve, and only 5 shops were open. We weren't too impressed with the street, and we walked it from Parque Carolina to Colon. We did find a great little art shop - Taller de Arte Maygo (at R. Davalas). Maybe on a day when more is open it would be fine, but we weren't too impressed.

I don't understand all of the unkind remarks about the Avenida Amazonas. Not every street in town can be quaint and beautiful. This one gives you a good idea of the Quito of today, which is bustling with activity and carrying the good people of Quito to work and whatever else it is they are out to accomplish that day. I liked riding along this street simply to see what was going on in town.

This is the main street through the touristy Mariscal Sucre area. It starts at the archway in Parque El Ejido next to the Hilton Hotel Colon. You can witness many exciting things along this street from muggings to street performers. The shopping options are a bit lack lustre. There's a good selection of hotels but that is about it. During the day it is fun to watch dance troupes perform at major road junctions in between lights changing. The down side, I witnessed a mugging from my hotel overlooking the street. I would strongly warn people against walking alone here towards the end of the day.

We really didn't feel like this street/avenue was that special. There are plenty of shopping to go around, as far as a few restaurants and some local shops.

Most Quito people are totally proud of their commercial street and the buildings. The street got some interesting buildings (my office among them) but even though improved over the last couple of years still has no soul. You can find good restaurant and shops somewhere else

An attractive part of Quito with hotels, good restaurants and shops. Ejido Park across the street is a pleasant place to walk, especially on weekends, and gives a flavor if life here. I found that in places. The sidewalks are uneven and not always in good repair.

The first day we were in Quito, we spent the entire day walking around all the areas, especially the Avenida Amazonas. Waling around gives you a good flavor of the people and the area. There are plenty of places to stop and get a bite to eat, sit and enjoy the people or shop

This is a long Avenue that crosses, north south most of Quito. It has many upscale hotels, shops and shopping malls as well as parks. The shops are similar to what you fid in the US or in other part of the world and not remarkable. Although it is considered safer than the other part of town, it is only relative and walking at night should be avoided.
