Teleferico

The capital of Ecuador is one of several significant cities along the Ring of Fire, and it perfectly contrasts the craziness of the city center with the life on the volcano. The Teleferico, a glass gondola that travels 10 minutes from downtown Quito to the Andean mountains' wildest regions, is where Quito's adventure epicenter is located. Please take note, acrophobics.

Visit the Quito Teleferico for breath-taking scenery and a thrilling journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the world's tallest aerial lifts is this sky tram. Even though the journey only lasts for ten minutes, you'll be amazed by the vistas of Quito as it ascends the slope of Volcan Pichincha and rests on Cruz Loma. Please be aware that the mountain is cooler than the city and prone to fog, especially in the mornings, due to its higher height and the wind that blows there. For some people, the height of the upper station is enough to trigger altitude sickness symptoms.

You can start a five-hour high-altitude climb to the Ruca, one of the volcano's three summits, once you reach the summit of the active but dormant volcano. Or you may just enjoy the breathtaking views of one of the tallest cities in the world. Additionally, a swing is located at the top for the ideal Instagram shot. Teleferico is open every day except holidays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Teleferico is among one of the Best Places To Visit In Quito.
