Discover one of the most special ways to get to know Quito: from the heights! And what better place to do it than on the imposing Pichincha Volcano, the natural guardian of the city.

This mountainous massif, composed of several hills and volcanoes, not only protects the capital but also gives us breathtaking landscapes and a unique connection with nature, without the need to leave the city.

On this tour you will live a magical experience: breathe fresh air, marvel at the panoramic view of Quito, feel the energy of the mountain and, if you are lucky, try to touch the sky with your hands!
