Tour of Heights in Quito

Quito, as we have already described in our other tours, is located at a height of 2850 meters above sea level, that gave it some special characteristics, but with our tour of heights in Quito, we want you to explore even higher, discover and enjoy virgin nature.

The Massif of the Pichinchas:

It is not possible to speak about the western mountain range of the Andes without mentioning the set of hills and volcanoes among which is the Guagua Pichincha and the Ruco Pichincha. These last two volcanoes are almost 5000 meters above sea level. In our tour of heights in Quito we will use the cable car to reach 4000 meters.

What is seen and lived on the tour:

There is no doubt that the fact of going up in a cable car in itself a new experience for many, for approximately 18 minutes you can enjoy spectacular views of the city of Quito. Seeing the city from a totally different perspective; makes you appreciate many details that you don’t notice when walking in the streets.
In addition to the views of the city, throughout the tour you can see the nature that characterizes our equatorial zone.

Although we have another special tour to travel inside nature for 2 days, this tour is a unique experience.

The most active volcano in the Andes; the Pichincha; it gives a unique environment for contemplation.

Not in vain, our city is called the face of God, because the set that surrounds it makes it unique in the world.
