Cruz Loma + Cable Car Tour

  • 7 reviews | 56 travellers
    You probably don’t need a guide if you just use the cable car and plan to look around. My guide, Sebastian, was invaluable for helping me get to the top of Ruku Pichincha, a 4500 meter peak that dominates the near landscape. I hope he remembers to forward pictures he kindly took.

Cruz Loma + Cable Car Tour

We'll meet at the entrance to the Quito Cable Car at 10 am to board the funicular that will take us to the Cruz Loma station, which sits at an impressive altitude of almost 4,000 metres 13123,36 feet located on the slopes of the Ruco Pichincha volcano

From this point we'll have exceptional views of the mountains and hills of the Pichinchas massif. As we enjoy the views the guide will explain and tell us all about the birds that fly over the area, such as blackbirds, sparrow hawks or hummingbirds. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled!

We'll then take a short walk to the 'swing in the clouds'. This swing over the city of Quito makes for some very Instagram-worthy pictures! But it's not for the faint-hearted!

We'll also explore the Bear Cave, a curious cave surrounded by lush vegetation where we'll enjoy a sandwich and a drink to replenish our energy.

After the visit to the cave, we'll return to the Quito cable car to down to the city. The approximate arrival at the starting point is at 5 pm.
