Quito Parks & Viewpoints

Quito’s high-altitude landscape is defined by a mix of expansive urban parks and volcanic lookout points. The selection includes historic sites like the central Independence Square and the volcanic hill of El Panecillo, home to the iconic winged Virgin statue. Modern green spaces like Parque La Carolina offer recreational facilities in the business district, while terraced parks such as Guápulo and Itchimbía provide panoramic views of the Andean cordillera and the colonial Old Town.
