Experience the Middle of the World and enjoy different experiments with this day trip to the Intiñán Solar Museum. You'll visit centuries-old huts and a totemic forest!

Tour Details

We'll meet up at the appointed time at your selected meeting point and set off toward the Intiñán Solar Museum, one of the most interesting exhibitions in the Ecuadorian capital.

This place, known as the Museum of Equinoctial Solar Culture, will give you the perfect opportunity to see for yourself that we're in the Middle of the World. Through experiments, games, and objects, you'll go back in time and learn about the history of the civilizations that populated this part of South America millions of years ago.

During the visit to the Intiñán Solar Museum, we'll go into several hundred-year-old huts that house recreations of traditional objects and discover what daily life was like thousands of years ago! We'll also visit the museum's totemic forest.

To prove that Ecuador is at Latitude Zero, we'll balance eggs on our heads, use nails and reveal other experiments that only work in Quito. You'll be amazed!

You can't leave the capital without having your photo taken in the city's symbol par excellence. After visiting the museum, we'll head to Quito's most important monument, the Mitad del Mundo. After touring the exterior of this great complex, we'll bring the tour to an end.
