This cable car that connects the centre of Guayaquil to Duran, on the other side of the river, was inaugurated in 2020 and is intended for inter-city transport, making it possible to relieve, or at least this is the idea, the automobile traffic. Duran's population has tripled in 20 years and the majority of the population comes to the city centre to work. On the Guayaquil side, the three stations are located on strategic sites: on the Malecon, in the Julian Coronel park, a hub for the city's buses, and finally, in the Centennial park, right in the city centre.

This agency is specialized in combined excursions to allow you to discover all the facets of the region. For sportsmen: horseback riding, rafting and mountain biking over 1 or more days. More classic, the ascent of Tungurahua, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo. But also rafting on the Jatunyacu river (4 people minimum, about 60 US$ per day and per person), canyoning (from 20 US$ per person). The experienced guides are English speaking. Their excursion in the Amazonian forest is however too touristy and not authentic enough.

This trustworthy agency offers a wide range of services. These include canyoning (US$25 per person for 4 descents of waterfalls ranging from 15 to 45 m, duration approx. 3 hours), rafting (departure at 9 a.m. or 2 p.m., US$30 per person for half a day), bungee jumping from the Rio Blanco bridge (25 m, US$15 per person) and the San Francisco bridge (100 m, US$20 per person). The price includes transportation, the services of an English-speaking guide and equipment rental.

In recent years, as in most cities around the world, VTC platforms have been developing at exponential speed, and Ecuador is no exception. To get around Quito and the surrounding area, Uber, although still in a legal limbo, is one of the solutions most used by locals. As safety is always paramount here, platforms of this type offer interesting protection insofar as their drivers are required to confirm their identity in order to work. Fares are slightly lower than those charged by cabs.

After many years of construction delays, the Quito metro finally began operating in 2023, much to the delight of Quiteños. Thanks to a line (the only one for the moment) with 15 stations, it links the two ends of the city at a much higher speed than the trolebús. From Labrador to Quitumbe, the line winds its way from north to south, under the city, and stops at the most important points of the capital. Shopping centers and the historic district are now less than a quarter of an hour away!
