Full Day Tour of Quito's Equatorial Monuments
At the indicated time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Quito. 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 to explore the Earth's equator, equinoxes, and solstices. Next, we’ll visit the Intiñan Interactive Museum, where we’ll conduct experiments, including the Coriolis effect and balancing an egg on a nail.
Afterward, we'll head to Mitad del Mundo to explore the iconic monument that marks the equatorial line, browse artisan shops, and visit complimentary museums of beer and cocoa, including a chocolate tasting.
We will provide free time for lunch and recommendations for local restaurants nearby.
With newfound energy, we'll proceed to the Quito cable car. From over 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level, we'll admire the city.
Finally, we’ll visit the monument of the Virgen del Panecillo for spectacular views and museum access. We will capture photos of the city before returning to your hotel after an enriching 8 to 9 hours.
