Overview

The Hidden Route offers you an interesting option for a walk very close to Quito. We will visit beautiful towns, which have a varied gastronomic offer, as well as museums, viewpoints and natural attractions, where you can feel and experience the quiet life of the countryside, as well as learn about its history dating from pre-colonial times, interact with its people and acquire new knowledge in the ecological farms of each town that we will visit. They will also have the opportunity to harvest local fruits such as mandarin, lemon, custard apple, guava, avocado, etc.
The Hidden Route is undoubtedly a different tour, not many tourists know about it, so you have the opportunity to see with your own eyes the beauty of landscapes that this route has and that many tourists do not. That is the way of doing tourism, going where tourists do not go and thus experiencing the life of the local people and their customs.
