Tumbaco


The view from Valentina's house...


A church in Tumbaco...


Another view of the same church...


Across from the park in Tumbaco...


A street scene in Tumbaco...

Some time in the past, Tumbaco probably began as a separate town, but the massive urban expansion of Quito currently spills over into the surrounding valleys, swallowing everything in its path. Nowadays, Tumbaco behaves more like a suburb of Quito, or perhaps an extension. A sign marks the dividing line, but one city street flows into the next without interruption.

Valentina lives in Tumbaco with her family. We were fortunate to stay in her home.
