-
Parque La CarolinaWe begin our tour at the intersection of Naciones Unidas Avenue and República del Salvador Street, right at the main entrance of Quicentro Shopping. It is very easy to find. This area is the financial heart of Quito; here, we will not only visit the park but also ride through its surroundings to discover the most modern side of the city.
-
Mariscal DistrictWe will pedal to the picturesque neighborhood of La Mariscal, well-known for its lively nightlife and colorful markets. We'll explore the blend of tradition and modernity that defines this area while admiring its beautiful early 20th-century architecture.
-
Plaza FochThis square is the heart of the century-old "La Mariscal" neighborhood, a public space widely recognized by locals and the perfect spot to take photos with the iconic "Quito" sign—the ultimate proof of your unforgettable journey through Ecuador's capital.
-
Parque El EjidoLeaving the energy of La Mariscal behind, we head toward the historic center. After a pleasant 20-minute ride, we arrive at El Ejido Park. This iconic park is a living museum, home to majestic heritage trees and deep historical significance. In fact, this was the site of one of the most tragic episodes in Ecuadorian history: the assassination and "barbaric bonfire" of former President Eloy Alfaro.
-
Basilica del Voto NacionalJust before entering Quito's colonial heart, we’ll stop to admire the majesty of the Basilica of the National Vow (Basílica del Voto Nacional). This neo-Gothic masterpiece is truly unique in the world, famous for its fascinating gargoyles inspired by Ecuador’s endemic wildlife, like Galapagos tortoises and iguanas. Plus, if you're up for a little adventure, you'll have the chance to climb its towers for one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city!
-
We arrive at the Plaza Grande (Independence Square), the beating heart of Quito’s historic center. Surrounded by the city's most politically and historically significant buildings—including the Carondelet Presidential Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral—this iconic square has witnessed Ecuador's most crucial historical milestones. Today, it remains a vibrant meeting point for locals (quiteños), offering a true glimpse into the daily life and rich local culture of the city.
-
Yumbos ChocolateRight in front of San Francisco Church, one of Quito's oldest and most majestic temples, we will make a must-visit stop at Yumbos Chocolate. Here, we will enjoy an exquisite chocolate tasting experience to discover why Ecuadorian cacao is celebrated as the finest in the world, savoring everything from its purest single-origin notes to its most innovative flavor mixes.
-
Calle La RondaWe will head into La Ronda, Quito's most bohemian and legendary colonial street. Famous for its decorations, artisan workshops, and vibrant festive energy, this hidden gem welcomes us with music, local aromas, and centuries-old legends. As we explore its cobblestone paths, we'll enjoy spectacular, postcard-perfect views of the iconic Virgin of El Panecillo watching over the city from the hilltop.
-
Palacio ArzobispalWe will step inside this historic building, not only to be captivated by the beauty and tranquility of its Andalusian courtyard but to enjoy a truly delicious experience. Here, guided by passionate local artisans, we will taste and discover the traditional flavors they lovingly prepare for us. A true treat for all your senses!
-
Teatro SucreAs we begin to leave the colonial charm of the historic center behind, we’ll head back north along the historic route once known as the "Cartagena Road." On this ride, we’ll pass by the majestic Sucre National Theater, a stunning 19th-century architectural masterpiece that stands as the cultural and artistic heart of the city.
-
Parque La AlamedaWe will ride through the historic La Alameda Park, Quito's very first public garden. This lush green space was where exotic plants from distant corners of the world were planted for the first time, marveling the locals of the era. Today, this peaceful park still guards priceless treasures, including the iconic Quito Astronomical Observatory—the oldest in South America—alongside beautiful monuments steeped in history.
-
Guapulo ViewpointWe will reach the Guápulo viewpoint, a magical hidden gem away from the tourist crowds that offers one of the most stunning vistas of Quito and the towering Andes Mountains—with a bit of luck, we might even spot majestic volcanoes on the horizon! This spot is also steeped in history: it was from right here in the 16th century that Spanish conquistadors began their legendary expedition into the Amazon basin in search of the mythical "Land of Cinnamon."
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
