Itinerary
La Mitad del Mundo (the middle of the world) is one of the most popular places to visit in Ecuador. The attraction, which highlights the location of the Equator line, has a monument where tourists and locals can take pictures while standing in two hemispheres at once!
A few hundred meters north of the entrance to the main Mitad del Mundo complex, this amusing museum has meandering outdoor exhibits of astronomical geography and explanations of the importance of Ecuador’s geographical location.The real reason to come, of course, is for the water and energy demonstrations, but you’ll have to decide for yourself if it’s just a smoke-and-mirrors funhouse.

was very well organized and the tour super interesting. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the organization of the tour and found it interesting and enjoyable, while also learning along the way. That’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to create on every tour. We hope to welcome you again soon in Ecuador! 🇪🇨
Daniel did a great job and guide and driver, giving us an insight into Ecuador's history and culture, in addition to the sites we saw. We first saw Pululahua Crater from the observation area. We had a good amount of time at the Intiñan Museum, where there was an on-site English guide taking us through the cultural exhibits and fun Equator demonstrations. Then the nearby Mitad del Mundo, where he climbed the historic monument built where they used to think the Equator was.
Xemena was an excellent guide. Will refer friends if the opportunity arises. There were only 2 in our group so we got very personal attention.
Excellent tour. Great way to experience the equator and Quito. Guide Oscar and driver Pedro were excellent. Exceeding all expectations!
Our tour guide, Wendy, was great. She was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the history of her country. She brought fruit for us to try during the drive to experience more of Ecuador. We recommend this trip!
We took the Mitad del Mundo + Pululahua half-day trip with Latin Adventures Tour Operator. We enjoyed our time at Intinan but once we got to the second complex (Mitad del Mundo), we felt rushed. The guide came with us (at Intinan, he drops you off to take the official tour with one of their guides) and quickly walked us along the main artery, into one museum, and then out again. We wanted to look around some of the other museums in the complex + some of the little shops, but we were rushed along -- even though we ended up coming back to the city half an hour before our alloted tour time was up. You should offer free time to explore at Mitad del Mundo since it is such a big complex.
I'm sorry for this inconvenience. All our guides know that must give customers time to visit the complex. We will remember all our guides about it. Thank you for your comment! It will help us to improve our service. All the best,
Excellent tour! Our party of 10 arranged to have a private tour and our guide Miriam and driver Dante were fantastic hosts! I coordinated the trip directly with Dante, and they took such great care of us. The Middle of the World Museum is an absolute must -- a highlight we all really enjoyed. We even made a side stop at a local empanadas restaurant, which was fun and delicious. I highly recommend Latin Adventures. They were extremely professional and communicative before we arrived, were punctual and very knowledgeable while we were there. We had two days in Quito and took tours with them on both days. Our first day we took their Old Town Walking Tour, which was a great way to start our trip. They made our visit to Quito very memorable! Thank you Dante and Miriam!
Dear customer, thank you so much for your nice and detailed review. We are happy to know you had a great experience with us. Hope to see you soon again, we will make sure you have an amazing time!
Our tour guide Oscar and driver Bolivar arrived at our hotel on time and took us up through the hills of Quito all the while explaining the city history and culture, answering our questions along the way. We stopped at a park to view a village of people living inside a volcano crater followed by an amazing time Learning about the culture and people of Equidor at the museum then to Mitad del Mundo. We wanted to see more of the city, so they dropped us off at Old town so that we could walk through the city and provided us with an excellent lunch recommendation. It was a great time!
This trip was excellent. Great guide great photo opportunities. Fun to be on the equator. We were happy to gave the same guide the next day
This was a very good tour! Oscar, Our guide, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. If there was a choice this would be closer to 4.5. We stopped at Pululahua Geobotanical reserve, which is very interesting. We learned much about Ecuador at the Intinan Solar museum. The only downside was that we were told to be ready at 8 AM via an email and it was 9 AM before we were picked up. There seemed there seemed to be some confusion, but otherwise it was a great trip!
