Very nice green place for a picknick, on a hill with a great view over the city. Sometimes they have expositions in the crystal palace, a beautiful recovered building. The park is not on the spot indicated in the map, I can´t change that, it´s near, you´ll see a big 'green' area.

Go up 1000m effortlessly and with great view! Once on top you can walk up a trail as far as you want. If you plan it right and are prepared you can climb the Rucu Pichincha from there, might be a 3 hours treck. Don´t forget the altitude! Top of the teleférico is 4.000m!
