Quito Botanical Garden + Cruz Loma Tour

Marvel at the views from the Cruz Loma cable car and explore the fascinating Botanical Garden on this tour of Quito: two for the price of one!

Description

At the designated time, we will pick you up from your chosen meeting point and head to the western mountain range of the Pichinchas at an altitude of 2,850 meters. Once there, we will purchase tickets for the Quito cable car. After a 10-minute ride, we will reach the Cruz Loma station at almost 4,000 meters above sea level. You will have access to views of Quito and, weather permitting, the surrounding volcanoes, including Cayambe, Antisana, Sincholagua, Cotopaxi, and Atacazo. At the summit, you will have one hour of free time to explore and try the Cruz Loma swing.

Next, we will visit Quito's Botanical Garden, where we will learn about various plants and the importance of conservation for endangered species.

Depending on the group's pace, we may make a final stop at the Guayasamin Museum (La Capilla del Hombre), a cultural center that reflects on Latin American history through its architecture and art related to human rights. After our visits, we will return to our starting point, concluding our 4-hour tour.
