Parque Metropolitano

Location:
Northern Quito - the "New Town", Quito, Ecuador

City Park

By Dawn Wohlfarth Arteaga

This is Quito's biggest park, and one of the biggest city parks in Latin America. Set up on a hill overlooking Quito on one side and the valleys outside of Quito on the other, Parque Metropolitano is a maze of forest paths, roads, sports fields and picnic areas. Most of the trees are eucalyptus, which produce a heavenly odor year round.

There are a couple of access roads to the park; the main one is Diego Noboa just up the hill from the Olympic soccer stadium.

Travel Tips: Wear comfy shoes and prepare to hike or have a picnic.

 

Not safe for women alone in the evening.
