Mirador sendero El Perdíz — photo spot in VH6W+WM9, Quito, Ecuador
Mirador sendero El Perdíz
A hilltop mirador on the El Perdíz trail offering panoramic views over Quito’s valley, layered cityscape and surrounding Andean peaks. Best at golden hour and pre-dawn for cloud-inversion and soft light; late-afternoon sunsets produce warm backlight on the mountains. Trail access is a short to moderate hike from the trailhead (no fee); bring windproof layers—weather changes fast. Limited parking at the start; visit weekdays or very early to avoid local hikers. Respect trails and local residents.
