The equator line, the Intiñan Museum, and one of the world's few inhabited volcanic craters.
A private half-day tour to the Mitad del Mundo equator monument and the Intiñan Museum's equatorial science exhibits, plus a stop at the Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve — a volcanic crater that's actually inhabited.
A private tour with a local guide; all entrance fees (Intiñan Museum and Pululahua) are included in the price, so there are no surprise costs at the gate.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Round-trip private hotel pickup and drop-off in Quito.
See hands-on physics experiments demonstrating the effects of the equator, and straddle the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Visit the official Middle of the World monument complex.
See the Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve, one of only two inhabited volcanic craters in the world, from its scenic overlook.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.

Of the three equator-area tours Voyzo runs out of Quito, this is the one built specifically around Pululahua — and it's a genuinely unusual place, not just a scenic add-on. The reserve sits inside a roughly 5-kilometer-wide volcanic crater that collapsed after its last eruption, more than 2,500 years ago, leaving behind an extinct caldera with exceptionally fertile soil. What makes it stand out globally is that people actually live inside it: around 40 families farm and raise livestock on the crater floor today, making Pululahua one of only a small handful of inhabited volcanic craters anywhere in the world. The overlook on the rim gives you the full picture — a patchwork of fields and farmhouses sitting inside what used to be a volcano's throat.
This tour is also the only one of the three to specifically include the Intiñan Museum, a short walk from the official equator monument. Founded in the 1960s, Intiñan built its exhibits directly on the GPS-verified equatorial line rather than the monument's 18th-century-surveyed one, and its hands-on demonstrations — balancing an egg on a nail, watching water drain differently a few steps apart — are a popular feature of the stop. Worth knowing honestly: physicists generally consider some of these demonstrations more showmanship than rigorous equatorial science, since real Coriolis effects only show up at a much larger scale than a kitchen sink. Straddling the hemispheres for a photo, on the other hand, is a perfectly real location marker either way.
The official Mitad del Mundo monument itself dates to the French Geodesic Mission of the 1730s, led by Charles Marie de La Condamine, whose measurements of the Earth's curvature near the equator helped define the modern meter. The monument marking their calculated line was rebuilt to its current 30-meter form in 1982 — and sits, as later GPS surveys confirmed, about 240 meters south of where satellites place the actual equator, which is exactly why Intiñan built its own exhibits on a separate, more precisely located spot nearby.
