Getting there

Bus

To reach the TelefériQo Cable Car from the city center (Plaza Grande), walk to the nearest bus stop and take Trolebus Line 1 towards 'El Recreo'. Get off at the 'La Ofelia' station. From there, transfer to the bus line 044 (or a taxi) heading towards 'TelefériQo'. The bus will take you directly to the entrance of the cable car. Make sure to check the bus schedule for operating hours.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location in Quito. Simply request a taxi (you can use apps like Cabify or Uber) and provide the address 'Fulgencio Araujo, y, Quito 170527'. This is a straightforward option, and the taxi will take you directly to the TelefériQo Cable Car entrance.

Walking

If you are staying in the Miraflores area, you can walk to TelefériQo. Start at the nearest major avenue, Avenida Eloy Alfaro, and head towards the intersection with Fulgencio Araujo. Walk along Fulgencio Araujo until you reach the entrance of the cable car. It's a scenic walk, but be prepared for some uphill sections.

Bicycle

For the more adventurous, consider renting a bicycle. From the city center, head towards the 'Parque La Carolina', then follow the bike paths leading to the 'Av. Simón Bolívar'.
