Itinerary

  Once the guide picks you up from your hotel, we will start a tour to the north-west of Quito, where a day full of nature, culture and history will begin. Our first destination will be a hummingbird viewing point within a cloud forest ecosystem, an ideal space to admire several species of these small and fascinating birds up close, it is very likely that we will encounter other species of birds such as thongs. There you’ll have plenty of time to watch them calmly and capture amazing photos as they feed and fly around the place, an experience that will certainly amaze you.

  Intinan Equator Museum

  Then we will head towards the emblematic Half of the World, one of the most representative tourist places in the country. On this site you can participate in various interactive activities and live demonstrations that show curiosities related to the equatorial line. Among the most popular experiences are balancing an egg on the head of a nail, trying to walk while maintaining balance exactly over the equatorial line and placing one foot in each hemisphere: the north and south. These activities make the visit entertaining and educational at the same time.
