Uus! Why is Quito, the capital city of Equador called 'The land of ever spring'? Why is these spring season all the time where as it should be very hot?

It is called the city of eternal spring due to the combination of its location–just a few south to the equator and it is 9000 mts altitude. The result is a subtropical highland climate which is neither too cold nor too warm.
