La Basílica – A Quito, Ecuador must-see
When it comes to Quito classics, this is probably my number one pick. Gotta do the Basílica. For about 3 bucks and a janky ladder climb to the top of the steeples, this combines sightseeing with a a little bit of adventure and a great view sure to give memories. There’s a cute little cafe,…

It’s a tightly-packed, colorful market woven together by assertive sellers and more vivid colors and alpaca wool than you can imagine. Here’s a tip: You’ve got to bargain. Even better, just know a good price, speak a little Spanish, and…
