“Quiteños proudly claim she is the only Madonna in the world depicted with wings. From the summit, there are marvelous views of the sprawling city and the surrounding volcanoes.”

"To glimpse the tallest active volcano in the world, head to El Panecillo. Located on its own volcanic terrain, this 656-foot hill towers above the old town and offers the perfect view of Cotopaxi. "
