From Quito: Cochasquí, Cayambe, and Rose Plantation Day Trip

Discover the magic of Ecuador's northern Andes on a full-day trip from Quito. Visit the Cochasquí Archaeological Park, explore a rose plantation, and ascend the slopes of the Cayambe Volcano.
Begin your adventure with a visit to the Cochasquí Archaeological Park. Walk among imposing truncated pyramids and ceremonial mounds built by the Quitu-Cara culture. Surrounded by llamas and with a spectacular panoramic view of the Andes, learn about the advanced astronomy of the ancestors and how they used this sacred site as a giant solar calendar.

Next, stop at a traditional biscuit factory in the heart of Cayambe. Learn about the artisanal process of these local bakery gems, baked in a wood-fired oven. Enjoy a warm biscuit accompanied by the essential leaf cheese and a touch of manjar, the perfect fuel to continue the day.

Continue to a premium rose plantation in Cayambe. Walk through the greenhouses to marvel at the intensity of their colors, the size of their buds, and the perfection of their stems. Learn about the meticulous process of growing, harvesting, and packing these flowers that travel from the slopes of the volcano to the most exclusive corners of the world.

Finally, ascend the flanks of the Royal Cordillera to enter the Cayambe-Coca National Park. Travel in 4x4 vehicles to the highlands of the imposing Cayambe Volcano, the third highest peak in the country (5,790 m above sea level). Walk in an Andean páramo landscape until you reach 4,600 meters of altitude at the Ruales-Oleas-Berge Refuge, feeling the imposing Andean wind and the closeness of its eternal glaciers.
