Choir Performs in Peru and Ecuador Day 8
June 17, 2022
After a successful concert in Cotacachi, Peru, the group returned to Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. We learned from our Ecuadorian guide that Ecuador is known as the “land of volcanoes.” In a country the size of Colorado, there are as many as 55 volcanoes in the country, many of them still active. We also learned that Quito is the highest capital city in the world at a height of over nine-thousand square-feet above sea level!
Choir Performs in Peru and Ecuador Day 9
June 17, 2022
Tuesday, May 31, day nine of our tour, was our first full day in Quito, the capital city of over three million residents. We slept well in our Quito hotel, which were the smallest on the tour. Even in the most cosmopolitan city of Ecuador, guests were still admonished to not throw toilet paper in the toilets. This was because the diameters of the pipes in Ecuador and Peru are much smaller and cannot handle much paper in the lines.
