Full Day Tour of Quito's Equatorial Monuments
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Quito to start the adventure. In less than 40 minutes, we’ll reach our first destination: the Middle of the World.
Our first stop will be the Zero Point Museum, ideal for exploring the Earth's equator, equinoxes, and solstices. Next, we’ll visit the Intiñan Interactive Museum, where we will conduct experiments like the Coriolis effect and balancing an egg on a nail.
Then we'll travel to Mitad del Mundo, where we'll explore the iconic monument marking the equatorial line. Here, we'll browse artisan shops and visit complimentary museums of beer and cocoa, including a chocolate tasting.
Before proceeding, we'll provide some free time for lunch with recommendations for local restaurants.
After lunch, we'll head to the Quito cable car. From over 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level, we’ll admire Quito's cityscape.
Finally, we'll visit the monument of the Virgen del Panecillo, where we'll explore its museum and take photos of the city.
After 8 to 9 hours, we'll return you to your hotel.
