Wandering around...

by CaptainAmerica - last update: Apr 27, 2004

A park in the old city center
Wandering around the old center of Quito is one of my fondest memory. Just walking and getting lost in the streets, as in any other city in the world is an activity not to be missed.
Exhausting but beautiful stairways
Guide books are very usefull but sometimes we should forget it at the hotel and be confiednt in our own feelings...
... that often lead our steps to marvelous sights, whether unknown
A city surrounded by the Ande
... or vey reknown. But falling on the "must see" places without anticipation is probably the best way to appreciate them; provided, of course, we make sure to read a little bit about them back to the hotel or at the terrace of some small cafe.
Wake up early (I know it's holidays but...) allows you, sometimes, to be almost alone in the most touristic areas.

With the sun as only companion.
Well, and the tramaway as well...

Just another street
Getting lost means discover places of no particular interest too, but where the "real" local people live; that makes part of the trip.

 Y, not sure of Quito's altitude but what you did there knocked me flat on my arse when I was in Cusco (Peru). That altitude can be deceiving!
