Best Parks in Quito

Quito’s urban landscape is defined by its diverse green spaces, ranging from the historic Plaza de la Independencia at the city's heart to the expansive 165-acre Parque La Carolina in the business district. The Quito Botanical Garden showcases the country's varied ecosystems, while the city’s oldest park, La Alameda, houses the Quito Astronomical Observatory. Parque El Ejido serves as a cultural bridge between the old and new towns, frequently hosting local art markets along Avenue Patria.
