    Intinan Equator Museum

    We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:30 am to head to the emblematic Middle 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 equator. Among the most popular experiences are balancing an egg on a nail, trying to walk while maintaining balance exactly on the equator, and putting one foot in each hemisphere: the north and the south. These activities make the visit entertaining and educational at the same time.
