Cruz Loma + Cable Car Tour
Description
This excursion to the Cruz Loma station of the Quito Cable Car (TelefériQo) offers a chance to experience remarkable vistas of the city while reconnecting with the surrounding nature.
Cruz Loma + Cable Car Tour
We will convene at the entrance to the Quito Cable Car at the arranged time, ready to ascend via the funicular to the Cruz Loma station, perched at a notable height of nearly 4,000 m (13123.36 ft) on the slopes of Rucu Pichincha volcano.
Once we arrive, we'll be greeted with stunning panoramas of the Pichinchas massif's mountains and hills. Next, a brief walk will lead us to the "swing in the clouds," an exhilarating attraction that provides picture-perfect moments for your social media feeds, though it may not suit those with a fear of heights!
Our adventure continues as we visit the Bear Cave, an intriguing cavern embraced by vibrant vegetation, where you can take a moment to indulge in a delightful picnic-style lunch. Should you feel up to the challenge, there’s also the option to ascend further toward the peak of Rucu Pichincha during the free time allotted to you.
Before heading back to Quito, we will stop by the stores in Cruz Loma, which offer a selection of souvenirs and locally crafted items. After a comprehensive journey lasting around 7 hours, we will return you to the starting point.
