About

We will go to the Old Town which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1978 by UNESCO because Quito has the biggest Old Town in the World and keep artistic treasures and architectonic jewels. If you visit the Middle of the World you will be at the imaginary line that divides the continent into the North and South Hemispheres. The Inti Ñan museum is a place where we can do experiments to test that we are on the Equatorial Line. On the Cable or "Teleférico" we have the main scenic overlook viewpoint of Quito.
