Itinerary

Day 1

HIKING TO RICH PICHINCHA

Early in the morning, we will pick you up at your hotel in Quito, and we will head towards the west side of the city to take the Cable Car or Gondola, which offers you a spectacular view over the city and its surroundings.

The Cable Car takes us from an altitude of 2,950 m to a viewpoint of more than 4,050 m in 15 minutes. On the way, you will enjoy a fantastic view of Quito and more than 14 peaks of the Andes.

From there, the hike begins along the slopes of the Ruco Pichincha summit, which takes approximately 2-3 hours of walking and 1 hour and a half through what is known as the typical páramo (Páramo Andino), enjoying the vegetation of the Andes to the rocky summit of Ruco Pichincha.

From an altitude of 4,680 m, this summit has stupendous views on a clear day, admiring the valleys of Quito and the volcanoes that surround the snow-capped Cayambe, Antisana and Cotopaxi on the horizon.
