First morning on arrival in Quito I signed up for a ‘free’ (for tips) walking tour of the first UNESCO world heritage listed city (1978).

My hostel runs one of the best 365 days / year. Excellent tour guides who end up well remunerated.

The most important cathedrals.

Some museums.

Advice on local foods and attractions. Chocolate tasting.

Even the Popemobile.

It gives a terrific introduction to how to navigate a new city.

We were warned not to hike up to the Virgin Mary as tourists have been robbed.

Finally, tips on traditional dress. 😀
