Discover the magic of the equatorial line and engage in fascinating experiments on this guided tour of the Middle of the World and the Intiñan Museum. We’ll also take a ride on Quito’s cable car.
Full Day Tour of Quito's Equatorial Monuments
We will pick you up from your hotel in Quito to begin our adventure. In less than 40 minutes, we’ll reach the Middle of the World.
Our first stop will be the Zero Point Museum, where we will explore the Earth's equator, equinoxes, and solstices. Next, we will visit the Intiñan Interactive Museum to conduct experiments, including the Coriolis effect and balancing an egg on a nail.
We will then head to the city of Mitad del Mundo, where we will explore the monument marking the equatorial line, browse artisan shops, and visit complimentary museums of beer and cocoa, including a chocolate tasting.
Before the next stop, we will provide you with free time for lunch and recommendations for local restaurants.
Then, we will head to the Quito cable car. From over 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level, we will admire the city of Quito.
Finally, we will visit the monument of the Virgen del Panecillo, which offers views dividing the city into two parts, and we will take photos and visit its museum.
After an enriching 8 to 9 hours, we will return to your hotel.
