    About this experience

    Step away from the hum of Quito and into the mesmerizing embrace of the Antisana Ecological Reserve, a mere 100km journey into the heart of the Andes. Here, adventure beckons on two wheels, guiding you through terrains that whisper tales of ancient times. From the verdant whispers of the upper Amazon at 1,200 meters to the staggering majesty of the Antisana Volcano, soaring at a breathtaking 5,758 meters, every inch of this land is a testament to nature's grandeur. Dive into the legends, for "Antisana" in the age-old Quichua tongue means the 'Dark Mountain'. True to its moniker, this enigmatic volcano often shrouds itself in a cloak of clouds. Yet, on those rare, magical days when the heavens part, the sight of its glacier-adorned pinnacle will etch itself into your soul. And as you're lost in its beauty, cast your gaze to the skies. A ballet of majestic condors, spirited cara caras, and a chorus of avian wonders serenade you, capturing the essence of Antisana's untamed spirit.

    Amazing Day in Antisana

    Lincoln was an amazing guide. He knew lots about Antisana National Park and took us to many great places to see condors. Would definitely recommend booking with Lincoln.

    Response from the operator: Dear Kenneth Thanks so much for your review of the Antisana tour with Lincoln, it is great to hear you where pleased with his guidance! If you are ever back in Ecuador and want to go on more tours just let us know!

    Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!": questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

    How much does Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!" cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!" take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

    Is Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!" worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!"?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!" suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!"?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Antisana Chronicles:Hiking Meets Biking in Nature's Grand Arena!" start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quito?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quito?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quito?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
