Quito questions
Is four days enough for Quito and the Andes?
Four days covers the main historic sites and day trips if you start early each morning. Reserve any Cotopaxi transport the day before to secure an early departure.
Do I need to book Cotopaxi park entry ahead?
Book park entry online or at the gate the prior afternoon during high season. Buses from Quito's Quitumbe terminal run every hour for 3 USD and take two hours.
How do I reach Mitad del Mundo from central Quito?
Catch the public bus from the northern terminal for 1 USD; the ride lasts 45 minutes. Taxis cost 25 USD one way and work best for groups.
Should I buy TelefériQo tickets in advance?
Buy tickets on site the morning of your visit; lines move quickly before 9 a.m. Round-trip costs 8.50 USD and the first car departs at 8 a.m.
