Hike in Guanguiltagua Park｜Ecuador

Discover one of Quito's most impressive natural treasures with this unique experience in Guanguiltagua Metropolitan Park, a green paradise that towers above the city and offers spectacular views of the Andes. Just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city, you'll experience three hours of connection with nature, history, and serenity.

We will meet at the main entrance to the park (Calle Guanguiltagua and Calle Diego Noboa) and begin our guided hike from there. Depending on the weather and the group's fitness level, we will hike between 3 and 8 kilometers (1.9 and 5 miles) along trails surrounded by forests, viewpoints, and wildlife. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast or simply want to enjoy a relaxed walk, we'll adapt the pace and route so that everyone can enjoy the experience.

During the tour, we will visit several natural viewpoints from which you can admire the Quito Valley and, on clear days, the imposing volcanoes that surround it, such as Pichincha, Cayambe, and Cotopaxi. Along the way, we will discuss the history of the park, Quito's culture, and the ecological richness that makes it one of the most important urban conservation areas in Ecuador.

If we're lucky, we'll hear the song of local birds or see hummingbirds flitting through the trees. And in the middle of the hike, we'll stop for a unique experience: a short outdoor meditation session, perfect for relaxing, reconnecting with yourself, and soaking up the peaceful energy of the forest. Afterward, we will share a fresh snack made with local ingredients at one of the viewpoints, in a green area, or in the community center within the park, while enjoying the views and the pure mountain air.
All you need is comfortable 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 unique experience within Quito.

Breathe, walk, and feel the most natural side of the city. Guanguiltagua Metropolitan Park awaits you to show you that adventure and tranquility can be found in the same place.
