Activity Details
We will gather at the designated time at the Quicentro Shopping Centre to kick off this cycling adventure in Quito. Are you prepared to explore the capital of Ecuador by bike?
Our journey begins as we ride through the bustling financial district, bordered by La Carolina Park and its striking modern architecture. Next, we’ll venture into the La Mariscal area, known for its elegant 1920s and 1930s mansions that still showcase their historical charm.
Continuing on our path, we’ll pass through renowned parks like El Ejido, one of the city's principal green oases, and La Alameda, where nature intertwines with historical significance. After a brief pause, we’ll reach the stunning historic center of Quito, which is sure to leave you in awe!
During this segment of the tour, we’ll take in the sights of the Basilica del Voto Nacional, renowned as one of the most remarkable neo-Gothic churches in South America, while exploring squares and churches and sharing captivating legends and stories about Quito's most iconic streets. It will feel similar to stepping back into history!
We will also take a break to indulge in a delightful tasting of aromatic chocolate at Yumbos Chocolate and refresh ourselves with a coffee lemonade at El Cafecito. A sweet and distinctive treat to energize us on our journey!
On our return to the starting point, we’ll traverse the La Floresta area, celebrated for its artistic vibe and viewpoints that provide spectacular panoramas of the city. Be prepared to capture beautiful moments on your camera!
Ultimately, after covering roughly 23 km (14.2 mi), we will make our way back to our meeting location to conclude our experience, which will last between 4 to 6 hours, depending on our group pace.
