"Quito has the benefit of daily mountain breeses which clean the air at night.  This, combined with occasional rain showers, keeps air pollution relatively low every day.

Cuenca, however, also gets a frequent cleaning, according to Cuenca Residency's website:

"Typically, (Cuenca) being a mountain location, the early mornings are misty and this burns off in the morning sun.  Then mid-afternoon the clouds break up and there is a 20-minute light shower of rain which freshens everything up and helps reduce the pollution."
