The story

It isn't the first time I've gone back to my country, yet every time it's as if it were the first. Perhaps because I'm biased, but the wonders of this country really are many! I therefore take the opportunity to present some of my photos taken in Quito, where the temperature averages 19/20 degrees. Naturally, during our stay we couldn't miss a few days at the seaside, where the heat is guaranteed, so we chose Atacames as our destination. After some relaxation on the white beaches we headed for Otavalo, where every Saturday one of the largest markets in Ecuador takes place, with its countless, colourful stalls where you can find handicrafts of every kind. At the end of the holiday we returned to Quito for the journey home.

Ecuador isn't only this; we visited just a small part of it, there are still many things to see and it's truly worth visiting all of it!!! In a sea of famous, overexposed tourist destinations, why not think of a holiday different from the usual????
