Mitad del Mundo is a short distance from Quito and you can easily hop on a bus to get out here. Its a huge monument to the calculation of the Equatorial Line and it is quite a large space with some interesting exhibits and plenty of history (if you are interested in discovery and science). The setting is quite impressive with the mountains in the distance. You must go up inside the Tower (there's lift) and then walk down and look at the various exhibits about science and culture on the different levels. Plenty of photo ops and shopping, but recommend you go to the local arts and crafts market in town and get a better selection at a better price.

How can you Not stop here? It's the Middle of the World (Equator---0 degrees latitude) and gives you a great story when you arrive at your home country. The entry fee was only 5 USD and gave you access to the museum, great views, affordable shops, and eateries. What else could you want?

If you are a good Ecuadorian you should visit this place together with your family, a rest that is pleasant, a place where you can find a bit of everything and taste some of the traditions that the country has, I visited this beautiful place in 2018 together with my family, had many attractions for all ages. If you wanted to taste more of this tourist attraction there is one more value that is worth paying. This place has to show us how our country was several years ago, accompanied by a tourist who is in charge of showing you everything that is there. What I liked most about this place was what is inside the tower, several scientific attractions that make people more entertained and the view from above is one of the most attractive things. I would definitely recommend this place to go with the family on a weekend and enjoy our unique tourist places. It is worth paying for admission.
