Back in Quito I explore the old city and am pleasantly surprised. Declared a World Heritage site, Quito's colonial centre, or the Old City, is full of narrow cobbled streets, leafy squares and beautiful churches and monasteries.
Up on Cerro Panecillo where there are great views of the city and surrounding mountains and volcano, the statue of the Virgen de Quito overlooks the Old City.
