When to Get There

The museum is open daily from morning to evening. Peak season in Quito runs from June to September, coinciding with the Ecuadorian dry season. Throughout the year, the high-altitude climate is consistently springlike with warm days and chilly nights. To experience the city in festival mode, visit from February to April for Carnival and the religious holiday Semana Santa.

Mitad del Mundo

While at the museum, walk over to the Mitad del Mundo monument, a 98-foot (30-meter) tall structure that designates the “official” equator line, as it was measured by 18th-century geographer Charles-Marie de La Condamine. On the grounds is the Ethnographic Museum Middle of the Earth, featuring a planetarium, a miniature model of Quito, and exhibits dedicated to the indigenous cultures of Ecuador.
