  • The Lonely Planet heralded the climb to Basilica del Voto Nacional as the most deadly one in all of Quito. Though there were some parts best not attempted by those afraid of heights, most of it was not bad at all and just about everyone can make it to the final ascent ladder. This is the view from above and though it was steep and perhaps a bit exposed with regard to what you can see, it is very safe with plenty to grab a hold of as you try not to look down. Yes, it is well worth it. That extra climb affords quite a view of both the cathedral and the entire city.

     did you think Quito was safe. did you take any anti-malaria or other preventative drugs before going to South America? I am worried about pickpockets. Please help! thanks, sandybird777 really great comments and pictures--you have been a lifesaver!
