Quito Ecuador

Submitted by aelinscott

Tucked away high in the Andes, Quito is the capital city of Ecuador and is surrounded by majestic mountains and volcanoes.

It is 2850 metres above sea-level and has a population of 1,400,000. Despite the fact that Quito is only 22 km south of the equator it is possible to see snow capped mountain peaks on a clear day.
