Quito - Our city tour

Quito is on the equator and located in the Andes mountains at a height of 2,800m.
We started out Scenic tour in Quito flying in the day before from Lima. In the morning we had this amazing site from our bedroom window.

Pichincha - the snow capped volcano to the west of the city
After breakfast, we went to a high point to view the city
