What makes Half Day Bike Tour Discovering Quito a unique experience ?
We start our tour from Avenida Unidas and Calle Republica del Salvador, which is the main entrance to the Quicentro Shopping Center. It’s very easy to find. This place is the financial heart of Quito where we will not only visit the park, we will also tour its surroundings that show us the most modern facet of the city.
We will pedal to the picturesque neighborhood of La Mariscal, known for its lively nightlife and colorful markets. We will explore the mix of tradition and modernity that characterizes this neighborhood while admiring its early 20th century architecture.
We begin our adventure in this square that is the heart of the centenary neighborhood of “La Mariscal”, where we will have a welcome and technical talk. Then we began the tour of the neighborhood, delighting in its architecture belonging to the golden age of the Quito aristocracy at the beginning of the 20th century.
We leave the “La Mariscal” neighborhood to get a little closer to the historic center of the city, after about 20 minutes we arrive at the Ejido park, full of history and heritage plants of Quito where the assassination of a president even occurred.
Before entering the historic center of Quito we stopped to enjoy the beauty of this neo-Gothic style church full of details that make it unique in the world. Additionally, if you wish, we can climb its towers, which are an excellent viewpoint of the city.
We entered this building not only to delight in its beautiful Andalusian patio but to taste the delicacies they prepare for us from the hands of local artisans.
The square, which is surrounded by the most important buildings in the city, is the heart of the historic center of Quito, a site where many events occurred and which continues to be a meeting point for Quiteños. (Bike time from the basilica to the main square is 15 minutes)
Right in front of the Church of San Francisco, one of the oldest in Quito, we will visit the Yumbos chocolate store where we will taste the best chocolate in our country. (10 minutes by bike from the previous stop)
A bohemian street in the center of Quito welcomes us with its festive atmosphere and spectacular views of the “Virgen del Panecillo”
We begin to leave the historic center of Quito behind heading north along the old road to Cartagena and on this route we pass by the Sucre National Theater. From La Ronda street it will take us about 15 minutes by bicycle.
We crossed through La Alameda park, which was the first garden in Quito, where for the first time plants totally unknown to Quiteños coming from other latitudes were planted, a space that also houses the astronomical observatory and other monuments.
This site, somewhat unknown to tourists, offers us a very beautiful view of Quito and the Andes mountain range, with a little luck we can admire some volcanoes. It is also the place where the Spanish conquerors in the 16th century began their journey in search of the country of cinnamon. It will take us about 20 minutes to reach this viewpoint by bicycle.
