About this tour

Start at the famous winged statue that watches over Quito and end with a foot in each hemisphere. This one-day tour links the city's best-loved lookout with a volcano crater and the equator.

You begin at El Panecillo, the hill and monument that crowns Quito with a full panoramic view over the old town. Don't forget to bring your camera. There is time to walk, take pictures. Next comes Pululahua, a green volcanic crater. An unique panoramic view combined with education from your guide. Learn about geology, biodiversity and cultural importance. The day finishes at the Equator line. Here you must take the classic hemispheres photo. It is an ideal choice if you have just one day for Quito and its surroundings.

This tour includes pick up and return at your hotel.

This tour is an ideal 1 day exploration of Quito and its surroundings: learn about culture, enjoy panoramic views and selfies at the equator line.
