Parque Metropolitano del Sur

If you enjoy being outside, Quito will suit you just fine. The city includes more than a dozen authorized parks with endless miles of pathways and substantial forested areas. South of Quito, in the neighborhood of El Troje, on Av. Simón Bolvar, is where you'll find the Parque Metropolitano del Sur. Its 750 hectares are regarded as a Safe Point (SS), enabling locals to stay there in the event of potential natural calamities. In addition to providing a wonderful lung for the entire city of Quito, and particularly for the south of the DMQ and the neighboring valleys, the park also revives the city's historical past.

Amounts between 2700 and 3150 meters above sea level have been measured in this region. The park's flora and animals can flourish due to the favorable conditions provided by the heights. The Parque Metropolitano del Sur is home to meandering meadows, eucalyptus forests, and more than 80 different species of birds, all of which are teeming with local wildflowers and orchids. About 80 species of the region's native flora have been identified thus far, including the Santa Maria grass and the pumamaqui tree, which is found in the Andes. A number of wooden playgrounds, tough exercise equipment, and 7 miles of tough paths are interspersed with that.
