Best. Mountain. View. Ever. The Huayhuash(Waiwash) mountain range are without a doubt the prettiest we have seen so far! If you're ever in Peru, you need to go there!
So this is not really a tip as I'm sure everyone knows this location. Think of it more as me trying to encourage all of you who haven't been there already to go and see this magnificent place with your own eyes. It truly is a wonder of the world! A few things to keep in mind though. First of all, there are a limited number of entry tickets per day so it's essential to book ahead. Also, to maximize your chances of getting some nice weather on your visit you should come during winter (summer in the northern hemisphere) but be prepared for some cold nights. #goldenhour
Roman Catholic Church located in the historic center of Quito, Ecuador. It's the largest Neo-Gothic basilica in the Americas. The highlight is the basilica towers, which you can climb if you have the nerve - the ascent requires crossing a rickety wooden plank inside the main roof and climbing steep stairs and ladders to the top (where this picture was taken). You can also climb the spiral staircase and three sets of ladders into and above the clock tower. La Virgen de El Panecillo in the background, between the towers.
