quité

Quitó is a coastal town in Orellana Province, Ecuador, located in the Amazon region. The town serves as the capital of Orellana Province and is situated approximately 150 km east of Quito, the country's capital. Quitó has a population of around 25,000 people.

The town has a significant presence of oil corporations, as the proximity to the Amazon rainforest makes it an important location for oil exploration and extraction. In addition, Quitó has been involved in several environmentally related scandals and concerns due to the extraction activities and the effects they have had on the local ecosystems.

Quitó experiences a tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and high levels of rainfall throughout the year. Average annual rainfall is around 4,000 mm, with the wettest months typically occurring between November and March. The high temperature and high humidity present particular challenges for outdoor activities.

The local economy relies heavily on the oil industry, with many residents directly or indirectly involved. Agriculture is also an important activity, with crops such as bananas, cocoa, and plantains being grown in the area. Fishing and hunting are also pursued, taking advantage of the abundant wildlife and aquatic resources surrounding the town.

Quitó has undergone significant development in recent years due to the expansion of the oil industry in the area. However, it remains a small community where many residents rely on subsistence farming and local trade to make ends meet.
