Old Town and El Panecillo Hill in Quito. Old Town Quito
If Ecuador's capital city Quito wasn't high up enough for you at 9,350 feet above sea level, you can elevate your experience even further with a journey up El Panecillo. Translated to English, 'El Panecillo' means 'The Dinner Roll'. Rising 600 feet above the old city centre in the foreground, this rotund volcanic hill offers perhaps the best possible panorama Quito. Though our viewpoint here, looking south through Quito's vast valley, makes for a nice twilight shot, too.
