Overview

Visit the middle of the world (Ciudad Mitad del Mundo) during this 3-hour tour to the equatorial line from Quito. The grounds contain the Monument of the Equator, which highlights the exact location of the Equator (from which the country takes its name) where you can stand with one foot in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Explore the Intiñan Museum to try to balance an egg on a nail or watch water spin opposite ways. Also, the Intinan Museum offers a look at Ecuador’s culture—from the biodiversity of the Galapagos Islands to Amazonian tribes.
