On the return journey you will have the opportunity to be dropped off at the Teleferico so that you may go up and enjoy the beautiful sunset in Quito.
We first head out to Quito’s outskirts to enjoy the mythbusters-type “Intiñan” Museum, where you can witness the supernatural powers and magnetic forces the equator offers. Here you will also see the most geographically accurate, GPS-tracked equator line. This museum is also ethnographic so you get to learn about the culture of Ecuador and will teach you the way of life in every region of the country.
You will also see the erroneously placed line at the more recognized Middle of the World monument, here you can get you picture in both hemispheres at the same time!!
On the way back from the Equator if you can be dropped off at the Teleferico, the cable car, which takes you up to 4,050 meters for an amazing view of our city. For those that would like to stay please note that we only drop you off at the Teleferico, the return is up to you.
