What To Expect

Quitsato Mitad del Mundo Monument
NOTE: IS NOT THE MAIN MONUMET

Visit a small equator monument, entrance fee $2p.p

The Quitsato Sundial is a cultural-tourist place located at La Mitad Del Mundo, near to Cayambe, 47 km north of Quito. It was built in 2006 and inaugurated in 2007 as an independent, non-profit project in a 24,756 ft² (2300 m²) area. Its main goal is to share crucial aspects of the astronomical knowledge of the prehispanic cultures of the region. The expositions are carried out by community members as a self-sustaining project. According to Google Maps, the central pillar is 4 meters south of the true equator.

After this we will visit at the Cayambe bizcochos town (local biscuits) factory.
