Quito is a big city, divided in two main parts: the old city and the “modern” city. The old city has the colonial feel that most of big south american city have.

Getting to Cuenca took us back to the Andes, at 2500m above sea level and we felt the difference in temperature right away. It wasn’t too cold though as we were getting closer to the equateur, so we took a bit fo time to visit the city and we soon realised that there wasn’t much […]

So after the mountains and the climbing, we got back to Lima to enjoy the city for a few days before going north towards Ecuador. Lima is the Peruvian capital city, and it really felt like a capital city. After a month and a half of Bolivia and southern Peru, it felt strange and strangely […]
