Quito, for example, is set high in the mountains and blends colonial architecture with creative energy and stunning views. Those who mix work and travel can strike a balance between laptop time and weekend escapes, whether it’s sipping locally grown coffee, hiking volcanoes or wandering through craft markets and cloud forests.
