The view of Quito from the virgin statue was amazing. Ecuador is an unique country. Staying in hostels is great way to save money. Getting recommendations from someone is a must.

The outdoor markets and the bargining for goods is lots of fun with great buys to be found.

Beautiful scenery! Mountains (ne' Volcanoes) to the north south east and west !!! With their snow-capped peaks in all thier glory! It's been almost 4 years and I wish I was still there. I have every intention of going back within the next year! Everyone should visit at least once in thier lifetime!!!!

Ecuador and The Galapagos IslandsThis is a great place to visit; I only wish we had been able to visit more cities than Quito on the mainland. NOTE: The US Dollar is the official currency of Ecuador!
