About Quito:
The characteristics of
the Andean landscape - powerful hills, deep blue sky, whispering wind
harmonize with those narrow small streets that lead to cloisters of
faith and bell towers that touch the clouds, giving the city a
stirring enchantment, a calm agitation. The Belligerent volcano Rucu
Pichincha protects and threatens the capital of Ecuador, Quito, a city
that dazzles by the rosary of churches, convents and monasteries of
its colonial helmet, that small piece of the yesterday, that reunites
authentic architectonic jewels, winners of the cruel attacks of the
time. Declared by UNESCO Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity in 1978,
Quito (2800 m.a.s.l.), is a large city loaded of history. The
chronicler say, that before the Spanish foundation in 1534, the
general of the Atahualpa Inca, Ruminahui (face of stone), set fire to
the palaces and buildings constructed by the "sons of the Sun". Quito,
by its friendly people, its spring climate, its colonial shades that
are opposed to the amazing buildings of the present, is one of those
rare cities, that can seduce, enchant and - why not also to conquer,
the nomadic heart of a traveller.. Websites about
