The TelefériQo gondola lift is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world. Tourists can embark on a magical sightseeing journey starting at the edge of the city centre, ascending to nearly 4,000 metres to the east side of Pichincha Volcano. Adventurists can follow the hiking trails from the observation points where they can hike to the summit of the active stratovolcano of Pichincha. The observation points at the top of the lift provide many photo opportunities for tourists to capture memories, and there are also restrooms, a café and gift shops.
