Walking

From the center of Mindo, head towards the main road (E28). Follow the signs towards the bus terminal. Once you reach the terminal, look for a bus that goes to Quito. The bus ride takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Upon arrival in Quito, you will need to transfer to the Ecovía bus system, which is a rapid transit bus service. Take the Ecovía towards the 'El Ejido' station. Once you get off at 'El Ejido,' transfer to a taxi or use a ride-sharing app to get to the TelefériQo Cable Car located at Fulgencio Araujo, y. The final distance is about 10 minutes by taxi.

Bus

From Mindo, go to the bus terminal and take a bus to Quito. The buses leave frequently, so you shouldn’t have to wait long. When you arrive in Quito, head to the nearby 'La Mariscal' area and find a taxi or a ride-sharing service. Provide the driver with the address: Fulgencio Araujo, y, Quito 170527. This will take you directly to the TelefériQo Cable Car.
