Quito sits in a valley in the Andes Mountains. One of the tourist activities is taking the TeleferiQo cable car up to approximately 4,100m (13,500 ft) above sea level. On this day, views of Quito were not to be had, but it was thrilling regardless.
This clearer view is from El Mosaico Cafe, a Greek-Ecuadorian-American restaurant with great food and stunning views. This collage was taken right before Quito's daily dose of rain. Best viewed mas grande.
Another general view of Quito, this time from the 12th floor of the Hilton...
...the building to the left of the tall concrete building in the foreground.
The Historical, Colonial district of Quito is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved in South America, here in front of Monasterio de San Francisco.
And here next door in the courtyard of the Museo Franciscano.
One of the many lively and beautiful roads in the Colonial district.
Here's another.
Next time: the road trip from Quito into the Amazon basin.
