Quito, Ecuador



The past few days, WorldTeach volunteers have explored what the amazing city of Quito is all about. First of all, I would like to mention the amazing view I have from my bedroom window. I see Cotopaxi volcano every morning when I wake up and walk to the bus stop. Cotopaxi lies South of Quito in the Andes Mountains. In the city, the architecture of the buildings are extraordinary and the murals on the walls are what everyone would love to see everyday. 


We took a tour bus to the Virgin of Quito, El Panecillo. El Panecillo has a panoramic view of Quito. So beautiful. 
      
The heart of colonial Quito is centered in Old Town also called Centro Historico. Centro Historico consists of Plaza de la Independencia, Plaza del Teatro, Inglesia el Sagrario, Inglesia San Augustin, Plaza San Francisco, La Compania, Casa de Benalcazar, Carondelet Palace, and much more! It is absolutely a "must see" when visiting Ecuador!

Let's not for get the faces of Quito. Yes, Quito has it's beauty of architecture & colonial history but the people are what make not only Quito but Ecuador the cultural place that is has evolved to be. 

I have to admit-I have fallen in love with Latin American culture.
