Hello travelers! Today I want to show you some photos of when I passed through Quito last year. I was in Cali, planning the trip to Cajamarca (Peru), when it occurred to me to call a good friend from childhood, Francisco, to ask him if he could give me accommodation for one night in Quito ... as he said yes, I did not I thought about it more and bought a ticket to get there. He greeted me with a big smile and a big hug!
He is Francisco, a friend that I love very much!
It was a very nice visit, this city is beautiful… it is charming! They had given me good references of the place and in fact it exceeded my expectations. The climate is delicious, cold, tasty, neither too much nor too little cold... In general it is quite clean and organized, it preserves its colonial structures quite well
The Big Square
As I was only there for one day, I didn't get to know much ... I walked through the historic center, through the Big Square, I climbed The Panecillo, which is a hill in one of the highest parts of the city that allows a 360 view of Quito and where a monument known as Virgin of The Panecillo or Virgin of Quito is located, a sculpture in honor of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, which is an icon of the city and symbolizes its fervent Catholic faith

I also visited the Basilica of the National Vow and marveled at its fabulous neo-Gothic structure, they allowed me to climb to the top of the structure and "enjoyed the vertigo" with a spectacular view of the entire city.

And the Middle of the World City could not be missed. A monument to highlight the exact location of the equator. It is one of the main tourist attractions of the place.

It was a great day, I ended up exhausted because I walked a lot and tried to do the most I could in one day, but it was worth every moment… I went on my way happy to have known such a beautiful place, and I treasured that great moment in my heart!!
