Gdhendje guri vullkanik që ndizet në ar nën dritën e pasdites. Brenda, altarë të praruar, temjan dhe heshtje mes muresh që kanë parë shekuj të tërë.

Faits rapides: Guri vullkanik i errët i fasadës shndrit në të artë kur e prek drita e pasdites, një efekt që e shquan atë mes kishave koloniale të Andeve. Dy tërmete të mëdha, në vitet 1698 dhe 1797, rrënuan pjesën më të madhe të qytetit, por altari qendror prej druri të praruar mbijetoi gati i paprekur.

Points forts: Altari kryesor fsheh fytyra të gdhendura llamash e kondorësh, vepër e mjeshtërve indigjenë që i shtuan një prekje të pastër andine stilit barok. Atje, çdo nëntor kurorëzohet figura e Mamës së Zezë gjatë një feste që përzien meshën katolike me ritet e vjetra të vullkanit, plot tym temjani dhe dritë qirirjsh të dridhura.

Really liked the low key pace here after Quito. Only gripe, it got freezing after sunset and my hostel had no heater. Bring layers.

Go to Cotopaxi on a weekday morning. I went Sunday and the buses were packed with day trippers. Also bring USD, the ATMs here charge a lot.

Skip the tourist lunch spots near Parque Vicente Leon. Walk 3 blocks south on Calle Quijada, locals eat there for half the price and double the portion.

Ehh, it's fine for a night if you're headed to Cotopaxi. Town itself is pretty sleepy, a lot of shops shut by 8pm. Glad I didn't book 3 nights.

Cotopaxi looming over town every morning, never got old. Streets felt safe even at night, food was hearty and cheap. Wish I'd had one more day.
