Get ready to explore the Andes !
Getting from Ecuador, ahead of us a few stages under the motto: "small margin of error"
Mariscal Sucre International Airport serving Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. It is named after Venezuelan born Antonio José de Sucre, known as the "Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho" ("Grand Marshal of Ayacucho"), a hero of Ecuadorian and Latin American independence. It began operations in 1960, and currently handles about 3.9 million passengers and 125,000 metric tons of freight per year. The airport, one of the highest in the world (at 2800 meters AMSL) is located in the northern part of the city.
I've simplified the FP because there is no "horizontal" routes in this part of South America.

Alternate: SEMT Eloy Alfaro Int (140Nm)
Charts and scenery:
Strongly recommend: quito2.zip from flightsim (10m mesh). Install only scenery without texture and remove 321.bgl from scenery folder. (reminder: the priority of mesh must be lower than airport scenery.)
Pay scenery from simmarket by ECUASIM - they should pay extra for buying that - quality below sea level (as for payware).
Very useful familiarizations:
