Spanning 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers), the ascent provides expansive panoramic views of the city below. At the summit, the journey concludes at the Cruz Loma plateau, a starting point for hiking trails that lead to Rucu Pichincha, one of the volcano’s twin peaks. From this vantage point, visitors can explore the rugged terrain and enjoy the crisp mountain air.
