This Saturday we took a cable car called the Teleferico to a viewpoint above the country's capitol, Quito. It was a little surprising to see that it costs $3 for Ecuadorians to take the cable car, but $8.50 for non-Ecuadorians, such as myself and Amanda. But it was well worth it because the view was amazing!! We were not prepared for the intense gusts of wind and extreme lack of oxygen at the 13,300 feet elevation we were at. However, we still hiked around for a couple hours to get an even better view of the city and the 14 peaks of the Andes we could see that surround it.
