Hello to everybody. Here I show you the city where I live, Quito. At about 2850 mettres above sea level, it has got a wonderful spring-like climate despite the fact it's just 20 kms south of the equatour line. It's located on a long plateau flanked by mountains and with a wonderful view of several snow-capped volcanoes. It's a city rich in history and culture. It's got the biggest and best preserved old downtown in all american continent. In 1978, (beside Cracovia, Polony) Quito is the first city in the world declared Human Heritage by UNESCO. The city has been built right down two volcanos: Rucu Pichincha and Guagua Pichincha, the last one is active but controlled by volcanologists. Old Centre Quito The Independence Plaza Main Cathedral Sucre National Theatre Main Library and Culture Centre Basílica del Sagrado Voto Nacional Church San Francisco Church Compañía de Jesús Church: the inside of it is all covered in gold. Most expensive hotel in Quito: Hotel Plaza Grande Some streets: El Panecillo Hill and its landmark, the Virgin of El Panecillo.

lol Aleko sorry, I saw something weird in that photo lol... Specially because that mountain seem not like the Pichincha volcano, thanks for confirmming my doubt and sorry

North Downtown Quito The modern part of the city is north the old centre of the city. This part of the city has got greater avenues and streets. As well as modern buildings. Quito hasn't got any building higher to 25 floors, this is because of the location of its international aeroport, right in the centre of the city. These are some modern districts: La Mariscal In this one we can see Cotopaxi volcano. Iñaquito El Batán Gonzalez Suarez Downtown Quito

The main suburb in my city, Quito is Cumbayá.
