Enjoy breathtaking views from the Cruz Loma cable car and delve into the captivating world of the Botanical Garden during this dual experience in Quito.

Tour Overview

At the arranged time, you will be collected from your chosen meeting point, and together we will head towards the western slopes of the Pichincha at an impressive elevation of 2,850 meters. Prepare to be amazed by the surrounding scenery!

Upon arrival, we will proceed to purchase tickets for the Quito cable car. After approximately 10 minutes in transit, we will reach the Cruz Loma station, situated nearly 4,000 meters above sea level.

From this vantage point, you'll be treated to extraordinary panoramic views of Quito. If the weather cooperates, you may even spot the imposing volcanoes encircling the city, including Cayambe, Antisana, Sincholagua, Cotopaxi, and Atacazo. Once at the top, you’ll enjoy one hour of leisure time to explore and experience the renowned Cruz Loma swing.

Following this, we will continue our excursion with a visit to the Botanical Garden of Quito. Here, we will uncover a stunning variety of flora while discussing the vital importance of conservation efforts for endangered species.

Depending on the group's pace, we might conclude our exploration with a stop at the Guayasamin Museum, also referred to as La Capilla del Hombre (The Chapel of Man). This cultural institution honors humanity and identity, urging visitors to reflect on Latin America's historical journey. The design, art, and profound message about our dedication to human rights will leave a lasting impression.

After our visits, we will return to the starting point, bringing our 4-hour adventure to a close.
