Teleferiqo

Opened in 2005, the TelefériQo (from teleférico and Quito) is cable car, which runs from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to Cruz Loma (lookout). It's one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 2950m (8850 ft) - 4100m (13,400 ft). The ascent takes 8-10 min. Although you won't climb, the altitude can affect you or at least you will feel it harder to breathe.

At the top there are restaurants, coffee shops and a variety of tourist stores. The highlight is the amazing view of Quito, volcanoes, mountains and surroundings. There are trails for hiking and points where you can take pictures. Due to the high altitude and the wind, it's considerably cooler than the city, so bring a warm jacket. You can also do mountain biking at the top and go down the mountain.

I was lucky it was sunny and not cloudy when I was there, so I got amazing views of the Cotopaxi, Pichincha and other volcanoes.

They offer a free shuttle from the bus stop to the cable car stop.
