The second highlight of our day in the Quito was the Basilica. It's a huge church at the north end of Old Town that sits on a slight hill.
The city of Quito basically sits in a valley surrounded by the Andes mountains. Therefore, the view from this church's clock tower (about 400ft high) is pretty killer.
Like most countries outside the U.S. safety measures are a bit more relaxed. Needless to say some of the rebar ladders at the top felt a bit sketchy. Thank God we weren't up there at the top of the hour.

Thanks for telling me to do this. This was the highlight of my time in Quito (if you count the TeleferiQo and the hike up Rucu Pinchicha as just slightly outside of Quito). A definite must do for anyone visiting Quito.
