Full Day Tour of Quito's Equatorial Monuments
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Quito to kick off our 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, an ideal place to explore the Earth's equator, equinoxes, and solstices. Next, we’ll visit the Intiñan Interactive Museum, where we’ll have the opportunity to conduct fascinating experiments, including the Coriolis effect and balancing an egg on a nail.
Afterward, we'll journey to the city of Mitad del Mundo, or Middle of the World, where we'll explore the iconic monument that marks the equatorial line. Here, we'll browse artisan shops and visit the complimentary museums of beer and cocoa, including a delightful chocolate tasting!
Before going to our next stop, we'll give you some free time for lunch and recommendations for local restaurants nearby.
With newfound energy, we'll head to the Quito cable car. From there, at more than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) above sea level, we'll admire the city of Quito in all its splendor.
Finally, we'll head to the monument of the Virgen del Panecillo, a place that offers spectacular views and divides the city into two parts. Here we'll visit its museum and capture unforgettable photos of the city.
Then, after an enriching 8 to 9 hours, we'll bring the day to an end back at your hotel.
