20.08.09 - Teleferiqo – Quito Cable Car

This morning it is not too overcast, the clouds which most often fill Quito valley are on the move, so our views from the top (4,100m) are more or less unhindered. In the café at the top you can fill up on pure oxygen, $5 for 15 mins. Quito city stretches for around 20 miles (population only 2 million) across hills and valleys protected by an amazing backdrop of volcanoes 360o, including Cotopaxi, which is snowcapped year round.
