With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Riobamba, 50 miles away, has to offer. Pro Bici should be toward the top of your list here. Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Olympic Stadium are must-see attractions too. Located 50 miles away, Cuenca is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, make sure you check out New Cathedral of Cuenca, Calderon Park and Puente Roto.
