Bird's Eye View of Quito

In larger cities, a good way to get an overview of the city is a hop-on hop-off tour bus. It gives me an idea of what areas I want to spend more time in later. Some scenes from my Quito tour.

Hop-on Hop-off bus in Quito, Ecuador

Bird’s eye view of Quito

Towering over the city on a hill in the center of Quito is this 130-foot statue of the Virgin of Quito, made entirely of aluminum.

Directly below that statue is this collection of beautiful sculptures, titled Ciclos de Vida: Mujeres En Diversidad (Cycles of Life: The Diversity of Women).

There is some beatiful architecture in this city, especially religion-related.

Basilica of the National Vow, a Roman Catholic church

Basilica and Convent of San Francisco

This family was standing on an overpass directly above our double-decker bus. The kids started waving and blowing kisses to the passengers on the top deck.
