해를 마주하지만 결코 덥지 않은, 해발 2850미터 안데스의 고원. 남미 수도 가운데 가장 오래된 역사를 지닌 에콰도르 키토에서 본격적인 여정을 시작해 본다. 찬란했던 잉카문화에 기반한 원주민 ‘키투’인들의 도시 키토는 16세기 스페인 식민지 시대를 거치며 유럽과 토착예술이 섞인 독특한 문화를 남겼다. 잦은 지진에도 불구하고 옛 도시의 모습이 그대로 보존돼 있어 일찍이 유네스코문화유산에 등재됐다. 구시가지를 한눈에 조망할 수 있다는 바실리카 대성당을 지나 독립광장으로 향한다. 여기서 대개 구시가지 답사가 시작된다. 광장 한가운데는 300년 스페인 통치에 최초로 반기를 든 이들의 목소리를 기리는 기념비가 서있다. 1809년 에콰도르 독립만세운동. 비록 완전한 독립은 13년 후인 1822년에야 이뤄졌지만 도시는 이 이름 없는 시민들의 맨 처음 목소리를 잊지 않고 있다. 한 때 스페인 왕국의 총독부였던 이곳도 이제는 에콰도르 대통령궁이 됐다. “독특한 느낌이고 색달라요. 막 도착해서 아직은 잘 모르지만 상당히 멋진 도시고, 사람들도 친절해요” “가톨릭 종교색이 굉장히 강하게 느껴져요. 거리 곳곳에 성당이 있더라고요. 그 분위기를 즐기고 있어요. 아주 좋아요“

The high plateau of Andes, 2850 meters above sea level, but never hot. I will start my journey in Quito, Ecuador, which has the oldest history among the South American capitals. The city of Quito, an aboriginal native of the Inca culture, was a 16th century Spanish colonial era with a unique culture of European and indigenous art. Despite frequent earthquakes, the old city remains preserved and was listed on UNESCO's cultural heritage. The Basilica Cathedral, where you can see the old town at a glance, goes to the Independence Square. Here we usually start exploring the old town. In the middle of the plaza stands a monument to honor the voices of those who held their first anniversary in 300 years of Spanish rule. 1809 Ecuadorian independence movement. Though complete independence was only achieved in 1822, 13 years later, the city has not forgotten the first voices of these unnamed citizens. Once the governor of the Spanish kingdom, it now became the Ecuadorian presidential palace. I have a unique feeling and a different color. I have not arrived yet, but I am very nice city and people are kind. I feel very strong Catholic religious color. There are cathedrals all over the street. I enjoy the atmosphere. Very good

La meseta alta de los Andes, 2850 metros sobre el nivel del mar, pero nunca caliente. Comenzaré mi viaje en Quito, Ecuador, que tiene la historia más antigua entre las capitales de América del Sur. La ciudad de Quito, aborigen originario de la cultura inca, fue una época colonial española del siglo XVI con una cultura única del arte europeo e indígena. A pesar de los frecuentes terremotos, la ciudad antigua se conserva y figura en el patrimonio cultural de la UNESCO. La Catedral Basílica, donde se puede ver el casco antiguo de un vistazo, va a la Plaza de la Independencia. Aquí normalmente empezamos a explorar el casco antiguo. En medio de la plaza se encuentra un monumento en honor a las voces de quienes celebraron su primer aniversario en los 300 años de gobierno español. 1809 movimiento independentista ecuatoriano. Aunque solo se logró la independencia completa en 1822, 13 años después, la ciudad no ha olvidado las primeras voces de estos ciudadanos anónimos. Una vez que el gobernador del reino español, ahora se convirtió en el palacio presidencial ecuatoriano. Tengo una sensación única y un color diferente. Todavía no he llegado, pero soy una ciudad muy bonita y la gente es amable . Me siento muy fuerte con el color religioso católico. Hay catedrales por toda la calle. Disfruto del ambiente. Muy bien

City Tour Quito, Ecuador
Our first stop was a magnificent gothic Basílica del Voto Nacional set atop a hill looking over the Spanish colonial town. Standing outside the basilica we could look down over a series of whitewashed colonial buildings. On a distant hill, a massive statue of the Virgin Mary watched over the town.
Then we went to the town square. On one side of the square stood the Carondelet Palace, office and house of the Presidents of Ecuador. and to the right the Cathedral Metropolitana de Quito.
The middle of the square was marked by a monument to Ecuador's independence from the Spanish, achieved in 1834.
.Church and Monastery of St. Franciso where we visited the Courtyard of the Monastery and the church.
- after the city tour we went for lunch with local specialties at Theatrum restaurant located all over its second floor in the National Theater (Teatro Nacional Sucre).
Theatrum offers an extraordinary menu of the vanguard Mediterranean cuisine, where seafood, fish, meat, birds and ducks combine with fine aromatic herbs and local and imported ingredients.
⏱ 24 hours in Quito Ecuador ???????? Beatbox-Freestyle at the Basilica ???? Changing of the Guard ????
It's round three in Quito and you might think we had seen it all, but we still have a whole list of things we want to see before we leave. Fortunately for the group, we had just spent a week hiking the Peruvian Andes, so we were able to cope much better with the high altitudes this time around.
We stayed in a new part of town for us, at the Community Hostel. This put us in great walking distance from many of the tourist attractions such as Independence Square (Plaza Grande) out front of the Presidential Palace (Palacio de Carondelet) where we managed to catch the changing of the guard.
After that, we made our way to the Basilica of the National Vote (Basílica del Voto Nacional) which provides a stunning view of the city and Loma El Panecillo in the distance. A giant aluminum statue of the Virgin Mary, perched above the city on a pedestal 30 meters tall.
2:25 We meet a few local students outside of the Basilica who were looking to practice their English with a few tourists, but before we knew it, they were practicing their beat-boxing instead. So Fil decided to jump in and surprise them with a freestyle.
The group bids farewell to our newest member, Sunny-Lee; a fellow traveler who we met along our journey in the Galapagos Islands, as we prepare to leave back to our hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's hard to believe how much we've seen in the past month, backpacking through South America.
