QUITO - CABLE CAR TO PICHINCHA VULCANO
Visitors to Quito can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city from the recently inaugurated cable cars up Pichincha Volcano. The view from the top is spectacular, covering the city of Quito, the surrounding valleys and snowcapped volcanoes. This tour can be operated by itself or may be added to any of the private tours of Quito in our Tariff Guide, day or night.
Each of the 18 cabins, with panoramic windows, can take 6 guests, on an 8-minute ride, which starts at 3045 meters, up to the summit at 4050 meters, on Cruz Loma. At the top, apart of several lookout points, tourists can enjoy a stroll along paths surrounded by Andean shrub forest, several coffee shops, and handcraft and souvenir shops.
