Quito 360 Bike Tour: Modern to Old Town with Chocolate Tasting

Despre activitate

Experience it on two wheels!

Enjoy the beautiful city of Quito in a sustainable and unique way—don’t waste time in traffic; instead, spend it enjoying a one-of-a-kind experience on a fun, easy, and safe tour that takes you to the city’s most iconic landmarks.

We’ll explore the city from its modern district to the historic center—the largest and best-preserved in Latin America—accompanied by a passionate, bilingual local guide who will not only show you the route but also share Quito’s history, legends, and hidden secrets, tailoring the ride to your interests and your pace, and best of all, with zero carbon emissions.

Although Quito is located at a high altitude above sea level, 90% of our route runs along flat streets, marked bike lanes, and pedestrian-only streets. We’ll ride at a relaxed, leisurely pace, with plenty of stops to take photos and learn about the history, making the tour very accessible.

Itinerar

  1. Parque La Carolina

    30 min

    We begin our tour at the intersection of Naciones Unidas Avenue and República del Salvador Street, right at the main entrance of Quicentro Shopping. It is very easy to find. This area is the financial heart of Quito; here, we will not only visit the park but also ride through its surroundings to discover the most modern side of the city.

  2. Mariscal District

    25 min

    We will pedal to the picturesque neighborhood of La Mariscal, well-known for its lively nightlife and colorful markets. We'll explore the blend of tradition and modernity that defines this area while admiring its beautiful early 20th-century architecture.

  3. Plaza Foch

    15 min

    This square is the heart of the century-old "La Mariscal" neighborhood, a public space widely recognized by locals and the perfect spot to take photos with the iconic "Quito" sign—the ultimate proof of your unforgettable journey through Ecuador's capital.

  4. Parque El Ejido

    30 min

    Leaving the energy of La Mariscal behind, we head toward the historic center. After a pleasant 20-minute ride, we arrive at El Ejido Park. This iconic park is a living museum, home to majestic heritage trees and deep historical significance. In fact, this was the site of one of the most tragic episodes in Ecuadorian history: the assassination and "barbaric bonfire" of former President Eloy Alfaro.

  5. Basilica del Voto Nacional

    20 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Just before entering Quito's colonial heart, we’ll stop to admire the majesty of the Basilica of the National Vow (Basílica del Voto Nacional). This neo-Gothic masterpiece is truly unique in the world, famous for its fascinating gargoyles inspired by Ecuador’s endemic wildlife, like Galapagos tortoises and iguanas. Plus, if you're up for a little adventure, you'll have the chance to climb its towers for one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city!

  6. Oprirea 6

    30 min

    We arrive at the Plaza Grande (Independence Square), the beating heart of Quito’s historic center. Surrounded by the city's most politically and historically significant buildings—including the Carondelet Presidential Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral—this iconic square has witnessed Ecuador's most crucial historical milestones. Today, it remains a vibrant meeting point for locals (quiteños), offering a true glimpse into the daily life and rich local culture of the city.

  7. Yumbos Chocolate

    45 min Intrarea inclusă

    Right in front of San Francisco Church, one of Quito's oldest and most majestic temples, we will make a must-visit stop at Yumbos Chocolate. Here, we will enjoy an exquisite chocolate tasting experience to discover why Ecuadorian cacao is celebrated as the finest in the world, savoring everything from its purest single-origin notes to its most innovative flavor mixes.

  8. Calle La Ronda

    15 min

    We will head into La Ronda, Quito's most bohemian and legendary colonial street. Famous for its decorations, artisan workshops, and vibrant festive energy, this hidden gem welcomes us with music, local aromas, and centuries-old legends. As we explore its cobblestone paths, we'll enjoy spectacular, postcard-perfect views of the iconic Virgin of El Panecillo watching over the city from the hilltop.

  9. Palacio Arzobispal

    15 min

    We will step inside this historic building, not only to be captivated by the beauty and tranquility of its Andalusian courtyard but to enjoy a truly delicious experience. Here, guided by passionate local artisans, we will taste and discover the traditional flavors they lovingly prepare for us. A true treat for all your senses!

  10. Teatro Sucre

    15 min

    As we begin to leave the colonial charm of the historic center behind, we’ll head back north along the historic route once known as the "Cartagena Road." On this ride, we’ll pass by the majestic Sucre National Theater, a stunning 19th-century architectural masterpiece that stands as the cultural and artistic heart of the city.

  11. Parque La Alameda

    20 min

    We will ride through the historic La Alameda Park, Quito's very first public garden. This lush green space was where exotic plants from distant corners of the world were planted for the first time, marveling the locals of the era. Today, this peaceful park still guards priceless treasures, including the iconic Quito Astronomical Observatory—the oldest in South America—alongside beautiful monuments steeped in history.

  12. Guapulo Viewpoint

    30 min

    We will reach the Guápulo viewpoint, a magical hidden gem away from the tourist crowds that offers one of the most stunning vistas of Quito and the towering Andes Mountains—with a bit of luck, we might even spot majestic volcanoes on the horizon! This spot is also steeped in history: it was from right here in the 16th century that Spanish conquistadors began their legendary expedition into the Amazon basin in search of the mythical "Land of Cinnamon."
