After returning to Cusco and enjoying our last night in Peru we set off to Ecuador. We landed in Quito in the afternoon and headed out to explore the city. Ecuador, especially Quito, seemed much more modern and developed than Peru, a lot less geared for tourism and better set up for business. In Ecuador they use the US dollar as their currency, making us feel somewhat at home, but in a strange way. We saw some amazing old churches and city architecture. The military presence was very obvious in Quito due to some recent run-ins with Columbia and the FARC on their northern border. Here are a few images of Quito and the people of Ecuador.
