City tour of #Quito, #Ecuador revealed a beautiful city with lots of architecture, history, and a few surprises.  If you only have one day in Quito, I highly recommend a city tour that includes #Otavalo Market, the drive thru the countryside and mountains alone is worth it.
I took the Teleferico - cable car - up a mountain in Quito, Ecuador. It stopped after about 20 minutes, at approximately 4000m above sea level, where I got an amazing view over Quito and the Andes.
