TRAVELS AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES, chap. viii. 



On crossing the Tambillo ridge (10,090 feet) Quito made its 

 appearance, looking very insignificant at the foot of Pichincha. 

 Upon entering the city we went at once to the Hotel Giacometti, 

 where rooms had been already secured by the good offices of the 

 British Minister, Mr. F. Douglas Hamilton. 





ENTRANCE TO THE HACIENDA, PEDKEGAL.
