Quito, Ecuador, Dec 2011

ECUADOR | Thu, 15 Dec 2011 | By sally-annephillips | Views [873] | Comments [1] | Video

Flying into Quito (Ecuador) is a great feeling; it has such a dramatic entrance, situated in the Andes, 2,850 metres above sea level, (Footprints 2008). I came via Panama City (Panama) and Guayaquil (Ecuador); the trip took about 14 hours altogether, ... Read more >

I Don't Recommend Jumping Off Bridges!

Quito

ECUADOR | Thu, 24 Jul 2008 | By katrinamckeever | Views [979]

Lovely white washed historic Quito is easily one of the loveliest colonial cities in Latin America, but a total ghost town at night as residents hurry home to bolt their doors against the violent reputation of the city. It is a real shame as it could ... Read more >
