After pickup in Quito, we will drive fifty minutes northwest of the city to reach Mitad del Mundo, the "Middle of the World," a monument dedicated the where the Equator passes through the country. We will visit the Intinan Museum, where we can take part in various experiments that involve the differences between the northern and southern hemispheres. At the Middle of the World Complex, we will also be able to visit the fascinating Ethnographic Museum that provides a great overview of the many distinct cultures of this country. We will also enjoy amazing views of Pululahua Crater before returning to Quito in the afternoon.
