Pichincha

Although all the venues are apparently in different districts they are in fact within 1km of each other. Important note to add: do not walk anywhere at night in Quito; take a taxi everywhere, even short distances. Once inside any venue the people are very friendly. All these venues are well-established so there isn't much chance of any of them closing.
