La Virgen de Quito

Our Ecuadoran friends brought us to this sight especially for the phenomenal view of the city of Quito, which stretches in somewhat of a linear way between the mountain ranges. The drive there took us through some really steep and narrow streets as we climbed to the top - an interesting excursion in and of itself. La Virgen is an enormous statue of the Virgin of Quito, with a cool tiara of stars, and a weird thing with a globe and a dragon. For a few sucres, you can climb inside the statue to a balcony around the globe for an even higher and windier view. Though unfortunately I never got the full scoop on the Virgin herself, I found the view enchanting.
