Touring Quito

Thursday August 16, 2007
Quito Street scene Bitten by the Quito bug (news.com.au): "The UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town of Quito is a surprisingly ordered grid of narrow streets that thread their way through neighbourhoods of Spanish colonial architecture, whitewashed or decked out in pastels and punctuated by a profusion of churches, convents and bustling squares."

After acclimatizing to the altitude, (2808 m), the author enjoys touring Quito, suggesting the best places to sightsee, eat, enjoy the Ecuadorian pace of life, shop and more.
