Quito Day Trip: TelefériQo & Horseback Riding!

Mike and I had a great Monday off today! We paid $5 for a taxi to take us to the telefériqo from our homestay. The telefériQo sky tram took us up Pichincha volcano. We were about 13,500 feet up as soon as we got out of the tram. What a great view of Quito from the top! It was spectacular! We did a bit of hiking up on our own, and then decided that we would do a little horseback riding. It was Mike's first time riding a horse, and he loved it! We got to go up a lot higher than we would have by hiking. It was great to get some fresh air. There were times when the wind wasn't blowing at all and it was just silent. Such a peaceful and beautiful place! Below is a link to a few of the photos we took...
