The foundations of this archaic town were laid in the 16th Century on the site of a previous Incan city. Quito is enveloped by fertile valleys, volcanic, and green mountains with lovely forestry, making it a true natural haven.

"The Most Beautiful City in Ecuador" Ladyandtramp's photos around Cuenca, Ecuador [01:05]
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Cuenca, Ecuador by TravelPod blogger Ladyandtramp titled ""The Most Beautiful City in Ecuador"" Ladyandtramp's travel blog entry: "In two more weeks, we will be home. This is the time that working on a blog becomes a bit of a chore. Finding the time and an internet cafe in new places can be a bit of a challenge ... but we want to tell you a bit about Cuenca and our plans for the next two weeks. A week ago we flew 1000 km from the Galapagos to the mainland city of Guayaquil. We made the choice to fly on to Cuenca rather than take a bus and we are glad that we did this. When flying over Guayaquil, we noticed that it was flooded following a big rainstorm - roads underwater and houses with water right up to the walls. Later we heard that there had been several landslides on the highway connecting Guayaquil to Cuenca and the road was a mess. The bus ride would have been awful and it only took us 1/2 hour by plane. Cuenca is a lovely colonial city which has been named the most beautiful city in Ecuador. It is in the southern sierra, about 440 km (275 m) south of Quito and is Ecuador´s 3rd largest city with a population of around 400000 people. It is a UNESCO Heritage Site, which is a place of either cultural or physical significance. Cuenca was chosen because of its historical buildings with cobblestone streets, lots of beautiful churches and lovely old mansions. Before the Spanish arrived in 1534, it was the 2nd largest city ...

"Peru - Ecuador" Makusdigus's photos around Quito, Ecuador [02:37]
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Quito, Ecuador by TravelPod blogger Makusdigus titled "Peru - Ecuador" Makusdigus's travel blog entry: "Well, you will all be glad to hear that we survived the earthquake and our South American adventure continues. The earthquake hit Peru on 16th august which was our last night in BA. We didn't know the extent of the damage, or what one does in such circumstances so we decided to continue on as normal. We arrived in the capital Lima, which is about 200km from the worst affected area. One could be forgiven for thinking that Lima had seen a little earthquake action however, the drive from the airport aint the most scenic of routes. We noticed that here, and in lots of South America, buildings seem to be unfinished with exposed brickwork and steel structures sticking out the top. Apparently, taxes do not have to be paid on a building until it is complete and thus the reason for the 'Baghdad chic' look about the place. Miraflores however, where we spent our time whilst in Lima is a lovely part of town and the suburb of San Isidro close by even nicer- magnificent houses built by wealthy WW2 escapees. We took in a city tour of Lima, the best part of which was the fact that the guide referred to me as MC Donnell the whole time. In Da Houuse!!! On then to Cuzco, the gateway to one of the new 7 wonders of the world, Machu Picchu. While at the airport in Lima, we experienced an aftershock, which was an experience, although in ...
