Tour itinerary
Our guide will be waiting for you at the meeting point (Cruz del Papa) to welcome you and give you all the necessary indications. From the beginning, you will be immersed in a journey through time with characters that will tell you the fascinating history of this iconic park.
Our first stop will be the Vivarium, where we will learn about the Ecuadorian herpetofauna and the incredible conservation work they do.
🌺 Then, we will head to the beautiful Botanical Garden of Quito, a magical place where we will learn about the diverse ecosystems of the country. You'll be able to capture amazing photos and hopefully spot migratory birds that make the garden their temporary home.
We will continue exploring the hidden corners of La Carolina, discovering little-known monuments and enjoying a traditional Quito snack to recharge your batteries.
🚶♂️ To close with a flourish, we will walk along the boulevards of the park while we say goodbye to the history of Doña María Augusta Urrutia, the former owner of these lands, whose life was marked by her work in favor of the needy.
