Itinerary
Pick-up in Quito
The sightseeing tour begins with pick-up from your hotel, Airbnb, or address within the urban area of Quito. During the journey north of the city, you'll be able to appreciate the changes in the Andean landscape and learn about the history of Quito, its geography, and the volcanoes surrounding the capital.
Original Equatorial Monument – Calacalí
The first stop will be at the historic Equatorial Monument in Calacalí, the first monument built to commemorate the 18th-century French geodesic expedition. Here you will learn about the scientific importance of the measurements taken to determine the equatorial line, and you will be able to take photos at this historic site. This monument preceded the current tourist complex.
Intiñán Museum
We will continue to the renowned Intiñán Museum, an interactive space located very close to the equator. During the visit, you will participate in demonstrations related to phenomena attributed to the equatorial location, learn about the ancestral cultures of Ecuador, and discover the worldview of the indigenous peoples, their traditions, dwellings, and astronomical knowledge. The experience is dynamic, educational, and entertaining for visitors of all ages.
Middle of the World City
We'll then visit the Middle of the World City, one of the most important tourist attractions in the country. The complex houses the iconic equatorial monument, museums, squares, gardens, artisan shops, and cultural spaces. You can tour the interior of the monument, visit the ethnographic museum spread over several levels, enjoy excellent photo opportunities, and walk on the iconic line that represents the division between the northern and southern hemispheres. The complex also has restaurants and cafés where you can sample Ecuadorian cuisine if you wish.
Drop-off in Quito
At the end of the visit, we will head back to Quito with direct transport to your hotel or designated place.
Unlike shared tours, this sightseeing tour offers greater comfort, flexibility, and personalized attention. You'll have the freedom to stay longer at the places that interest you most, travel only with your family, partner, or group of friends, and enjoy an experience tailored to your preferences, without rushing or having a rigid schedule.
