From Quito we took a beautiful drive north through the Guayllabamba valley, and the north part of Cayambe valley. Just as we entered the province of Imbabura we stopped for this scenic view along the Pan-American Highway.

The restored colonial architecture in Quito's Centro Histórico (Old Town Quito) is amazing. I was fortunate to be able to visit both at night and during the day. Incredible to see the details during the day and magical at night. There are many stories and legends behind Quito's churches which make them that much more interesting and unique.
