Description Suggest change

One of Quito's and Ecuador's most iconic areas. Up high in Pichincha Teleférico at almost 14000 ft. Lost of styles and impressive views of the Avenue of the Volcanoes.

The poster shown in the picture says to bring a 60m rope and 15 quickdraws. Some routes require trad gear, as shown there.

Getting There Suggest change

Get a ticket for the Teleférico and don't lose it for your way down. Walk 5 minutes towards the north ridge and find the rock locators.
