We suspect World Journeys' Chris may be extending his stay in South America just to avoid the New Zealand winter.
After exploring Argentina, Brazil and Peru, he's now discovering Ecuador, where one of his highlights has been Quito's historic cathedral in the heart of the city's beautifully preserved old town.
Having endured earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and centuries of change, it remains one of Ecuador's most important landmarks and one of Chris's favourite places - although he says that about every charming town in South America!
