Description

Discover one of Quito's most impressive natural jewels with this unique experience in Guanguiltagua Metropolitan Park, a green paradise that towers over the city and offers spectacular views of the Andes. Just minutes from the city's hustle and bustle, you'll experience three hours of connection with nature, history, and serenity. We'll meet at the main entrance of the park (Guanguiltagua and Diego Noboa streets) and from there we'll start our guided walk. Depending on the weather and the group's level, we'll cover between 3 and 8 kilometers on trails surrounded by forests, viewpoints, and wildlife. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast or just want to enjoy a relaxed stroll, we'll adapt the pace and route for everyone to enjoy. During the tour, we'll visit several natural viewpoints from where you can admire the Quito valley and the imposing volcanoes that surround it, such as Pichincha, Cayambe, or Cotopaxi on clear days. Along the way, we'll chat about the park's history, Quito's culture, and the ecological richness that makes it one of Ecuador's most important urban conservation spaces. If we're lucky, we'll hear local birds singing or see hummingbirds fluttering through the trees. And in the middle of the tour, we'll pause for a different experience: a brief outdoor meditation session, ideal for relaxing, reconnecting with yourself, and absorbing the calm energy of the forest. Then we'll share a fresh snack made with local ingredients at one of the viewpoints, a green area, or the commune inside the park while enjoying the views and the pure mountain air. All you need is comfy clothes and shoes, water, and a desire to explore. We'll take care of the rest. This tour is perfect for travelers looking for an authentic, healthy, and different experience in Quito. Breathe, walk, and feel the city's most natural side. Guanguiltagua Metropolitan Park is waiting for you to show you that adventure and peace can be found in the same place.
