Middle of the World Monument (La Mitad del Mundo) Tours and Tickets
The Middle of the World Monument (La Mitad del Mundo) commemorates the site where the 18th-century French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine once calculated the globe's equatorial line. A trapezoidal monument in the center of the park houses a viewing platform; a small museum on the equator pays tributes to local indigenous cultures.

Great way to check things of your must do list
Loved the tour through the Old town and the museum at the equator. Unfortunately no view from the teleferico as it was cloudy. Daniel our guide was a fountain of knowledge and made this a memorable experience.

Fantastic!
We went during the week when it wasn’t too crowded. It was beautiful and also showed different parts of Ecuadorian culture, including the history of chocolate.

Great tour to the middle of the world
Great day trip to Mitad del Mundo/Inti Ñan Museum to explore the middle of the world and learn about the physics surrounding it. Followed by a view of the city by the Teleférico and swing. Then finished with a little walk through the historic part of Quito city, learning of its history and having a chocolate tasting. Shout out to Diego who was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly.
