Description
Excerpt from Gabriel Garcia Moreno: Regenerator of Ecuador
The capital town of Ecuador, Quito, stands in the central plain, over feet above the sea, and is built on the site of an ancient Inca city said to have possessed half a million Of inhabitants. Here the climate by day is a perpetual spring although the nights are cold, but on the coast the temperature and vegetation are tropical. This rich tract of country is thickly covered with palms, groves of coco-nuts, and gardens of pine apples, said to be unrivalled in ?avour; and even the wild jungle is rendered beautiful by the ?aming scarlet of the passion-?ower creepers.
