HALF OF THE WORLD
La Mitad del Mundo, a unique and emblematic place near the city of Quito!
Exploring this wonderful city is a unique experience, full of fascinating discoveries.
Would you like to join us to learn more about its culture and history?
We are eager to share this adventure with you!
HALF DAY TOUR
During the tour you will enjoy the wonderful experience of being in both hemispheres at the same time, since Quito is crossed by the equatorial line or equinoctial line that divides the planet into two hemispheres, north and south, offering us the opportunity to experience a stable climate without marked seasons where day and night have the same duration. The complex to visit is a valuable piece of our history and culture, its main attraction is the monument that highlights the location of the equatorial line, from which our country takes its name, and also highlights the French-Spanish geodesic mission of the eighteenth century that identified the approximate site through which the equatorial line runs. We assure you an unforgettable experience!

PLACES TO VISIT
1
Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve
It is an extinct but active volcano that is a true jewel of nature. It is incredible to think that it is one of only two inhabited craters in the world and the third largest, with no less than 12 km in diameter. When moisture-laden clouds roll in from the coast each afternoon, life in this caldera hides under a blanket of white - it's magical! It is also the only protected area in the country with the category of "Geobotanical Reserve", which means that its geological condition and biological diversity in both fauna and flora must be conserved and protected. I hope you can visit soon and experience the magic of Pululahua in person!
2
Intiñán Interactive Museum
Its etymology comes from the Quichua words Inti, which means sun, and Ñan, which means road. Together, they translate as "Path of the sun". At the Intiñan Museum you will learn a lot of fascinating information about the history of our ancestors, their homes, customs and traditions. In addition, you will have the opportunity to perform interactive experiments on the equatorial line (latitude 0) while learning about nature and the phenomena that occur in this part of the world! It is an experience not to be missed!

Middle of the World City
The Ciudad Mitad del Mundo is an impressive cultural complex that includes the famous Mitad del Mundo monument. This site is intended to highlight the exact location of the equatorial line, which is the basis for the country's name, and to highlight the important 18th century Franco-Spanish geodetic mission that located the approximate location where the equatorial line passes. In addition, this complex has an ethnographic museum that exhibits the fascinating indigenous cultures of the country. In the four permanent exhibition pavilions and the planetarium, you can learn about a variety of scientific, historical and cultural topics. You will also find a charming miniature model of colonial Quito, handicraft stores and restaurants with delicious typical food. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this place!
