Trip to La Basilica & Old Town Quito

Playing some games in the morning

Kids finally placed a calendar to write on...

...and then we headed for old town quito. One of its many appeals is the many churches it has. We visited one of the biggest it is called La Basilica. We took a tour inside it and climbed many stairs towards the top of the clock tower. Although the way up is kind of scary the kids had a great time. Here are some pictures of that day.

Open Day

On friday we had our Open Day. So YUPI Step Up travelled south to the valley of Los Chillos to meet up with the Bananas Village and share a day with the kids.

We had morning activities...
