Reached from the port of Manta, Ecuador, Quito
boasts a spectacular setting nestled at the foot of
the Andes. The Ecuadoran capital was once an Incan city, but the predominant
architecture is colonial in the old city, and the soft pastel colors are
very photogenic.
The official currency of Ecuador is the American dollar, and prices are
unbelievably low. If you are lucky enough to find a gallery or an outdoor
sale of local art, be sure to check the paintings and goods made by hand. |
