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.

So we started early, Eduardo my driver picked me up at 7:30am an we headed to Pululahua Crater. Getting there early (before the clouds roll in) allowed us specular views of the area and the crater floor. Then off to the middle of the world. There is a private museum and next to it the official monument. I did both. I actually enjoyed the museum better. incredible displays about how people lived, tools, customs. There was a super fun area along the equator.... with demonstrations of the sun and time and the Coriolis Effect. The official monument, you climb to the top and every 1/2 floor are displays about the history of Equador its people the different areas of the country including The Galapagos . Super fun way to spend the day, Thanks again to Eduardo, a great guide / driver makes a great trip even better!

Marcelo was an incredible tour guide. We had some friends visiting and Marcelo expertly led our tour in English and held some great conversations in Spanish with us as well. He was incredibly knowledgeable, gave some great science and history facts, and showed a true passion for tour guiding. He was patient with us when we needed to take bathroom breaks or wanted to stop at some shops. Our driver was also incredible, very safe and timely. The van we had was very comfortable and had A/C. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone seeking to learn more about Ecuador and the beauty that is living on the equator.
