Ecuador
My life has led me back to my home city of Quito after 15 years away from it. The feeling of exploring the country as an adult led me to see it in a different perspective. I couldn't help myself but tune in with all my senses and soak all that Ecuador has to offer. I hope that you are able to see some of the beauty I saw. More so, I hope I was able to capture that mystical moment through my lens. Enjoy!

Old City
What makes Quito shine is its history. Founded in the 16th century on the ruin of the inca city and Strands at an altitude of 2860m above sea level. Known for their “Barouque school of Quito”, which is a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish and indigenous art.
Basillica de Voto National is Neo-Gothic Ecuadorian architecture and is one of the most representative of the Americas. It is the largest neo-Gothic basilica in the New World. The building is noted for its grotesques in the form of native Ecuadorian animals such as armadillos, iguana, and Galapagos tortoises.
