Quito – best for sports activities and exploring nature

Friday, November 18, 2022

For tourists looking for adventure, Quito is the best destination for sports activities and exploring nature.

The capital of Ecuador presents tourists with the opportunity to explore the destination with bike rides, rural parishes and incredible rivers.

The widespread forests and majestic mountains offer everything from short, simple trails to hiking routes for a few days. The Condor Trek is one of Ecuador’s most representative trails, taking tourists across the Antisana, Sincholagua and Cotopaxi volcanoes. Yanacocha offers an inimitable experience due to the mist lingering over the chaparral (shrubland) forest. It appears like something directly out of a fairytale!

Pichincha presents one with an eight-hour trail where they can take pleasure in the Rucu and Guagua Pichincha volcanoes, in addition to peaks like Cruz Loma, Cerro Ungüí and Cóndor Huachana.

Quito offers travelers rural parishes and reserves where they can spend the night in the lap of nature.

Píntag parish is an idyllic spot for camping and enjoying the sunset. It even provides the prospect to go horse riding or take pleasure in group hikes.
