Each booking is a new history for Us!!! Start the trip from Quito or the airport, this will depend on where you have chosen your stay. Located 8 miles northwest of Quito city, capital of the Ecuadorian Republic, The Middle of the World or Equator Line is the most visited tourist attraction in the country. Due to its privileged geographical location, it has become a tourist magnet, where visitors can learn more about ancestral knowledge, nature and science. The city of the middle of the world is a perfect time to enjoy a half-day tour with fun activities. There is much controversy about which is the true middle of the world, since in this area, there are at least 4 places that boast of having the true equator line, I invite you to bring your GPS and check it out on your own. To this tour you can add on optionals activities such as a walking tour in Quito, Teleferico (cable car) or birdwatching with additional cost.

Years later, the geographer´s idea was taken and the obelisk begins to be built in 1976 which has a height of 31 meters.

We had our own driver and tour guide that was informative. Wasn't impressed by the crater village, but did enjoy the Intinan Museum where the actual equator passes through and later at the obelisk. The drive to and around the crater is about an hour, then a short drive to the museum, where you spend about another hour with a personal tour by the museum staff. The obelisk is self guided, and the village is worth a stay to eat and explore.

This was a brilliant place. Our guide Eduardo was amazing and took us to both of the lines. He was engaging and able to manipulate the trip to our interests. The experiments were fun and memorable.
