*Mitad del Mundo is an absolute must-see when visiting Ecuador! Visit the world’s actual equator and stand with the world in your hands in front of the monument as you are simultaneously in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres. The National museum, located inside the monument, will give you a look into the rich Indigenous culture of Ecuador. A short walk down the street will take you to the intriguing museum of Intiyan where you will have the opportunity to perform a variety of experiments that will prove you are actually at the equator including balancing an egg on a nail and the water swirl test.
* Visit the inspirational Art Museum of one of Ecuador’s most famous and ingenious artists, Guayasamin. Inspired by the struggles of indigenous peoples around the world, Guayasamin crafted jewelry, sculptures and most notably paintings depicting the human struggle. Experience his expansive personal collection of Ancient art and his Picasso-esque masterpieces.
*Conclude the tour in the hottest spot in Quito, New Town, also known as the Mariscal. The Mariscal is truly a city within a city and is a touristic hot spot with activity 24 hours a day. Your guide will show you the best places to surf the internet, eat shawarmas, go dancing, and get a margarita!
