Cotocollao, Urban parish in northwest Quito, Ecuador
Cotocollao extends across 275 square kilometers of land, divided into eight neighborhoods connected by commercial avenues and residential zones.
The area originated from a pre-Hispanic settlement inhabited between 1500 and 500 BC, later evolving into a colonial town during Spanish rule.
The Aurelio Espinoza Pólit library contains extensive collections of historical Ecuadorian literature, serving as a primary research center for national documentation.
The parish connects to central Quito through Avenida de La Prensa, featuring the El Condado shopping mall and numerous commercial establishments.
The area transformed into Quito's Chinese quarter during the early 2000s as Asian merchants established businesses selling imported products.
