    Tour includes a visit to "Pululahua" volcano. This is one of the few craters in the world where people live inside of it! 

    Middle of the World Monument

    Ecuador's most visited attraction is the "Mitad del Mundo" attraction. And this is because there are only a few places in the world where you can take a picture with one foot in each hemisphere. In order to honor the historical efforts of the geodesic mission, the equatorial monument (also called middle of the world monument), was built 13 kilometers north of the center of Quito (technically the monument t is located in San Antonio, Pichincha). Visitors can enjoy the views from the top of the monument at a height of 30 meters of the equinoctial valley.

     

    With your Bucket Pass Quito you will get transportation to and from the equatorial monument, a guided tour of the complex, and full access to all museums including the nine level ethnographic & interactive museum. Additionally the tour stops at Pululahua to visit the viewpoint of a civilization living inside a crater.

     

    Ciudad Mitad del Mundo also features a planetarium, a miniature model of colonial Quito in its permanent exhibit, an exhibition of Guayasamin paintings, and several pavilions of different countries. 

     

    If you visit Mitad del Mundo on a weekend, chances are that you will enjoy the live of performance of a traditional music band or artist, or a show of traditional dancers. This is a must-do on your visit to Ecuador, certainly one of the best things to do in Quito.

     

    Fun fact: Here you can also see how to balance an egg on a nail and that a kilo actually weighs less than anywhere else.
