  • Rucu Pichincha Volcano Trek expand_more
    • Meet at the monument of Cristobal Colon located in the America avenue and Luis Mosquera Narvaez corner; you can find it behind the provisional metro station that comes from the North to the south. In case that your taxi driver can't find the address, please call me.

    • Start this beautiful hike once all the group is complete.

    • Buy your tickets, and go up to the summit of Rucu Pichincha. Depending on your physical condition, stop in some specific places to take a breath.

    • Arrive at the Bear Cave after one hour and a half, and we will prepare for the last hour or hike (drink water and eat something that gives us energy). During this hike, see different kinds of plants and animals that give a magical view of this experience.

    • Take another breath once we arrive at the mountain's rock basement and then start to walk to the summit.

    • Take some pictures at the summit and enjoy the solitude of the mountain and nature.  This hike could be at least three or more hours to the summit and two hours returning to the cable car station.
