[Intiñan Equator Museum | An experiential museum where the "real equator" passes through]

[Intiñan Equator Museum | An experiential museum where the "real equator" passes through] — Feel the power of the earth with your five senses at the "real equator" indicated by GPS! Lots of experiments and ethnic experiences — The "Intiñan Equator Museum" is located in the northern part of Quito, Ecuador, very close to the Center of the World Monument. In fact, this is the place that is considered to be the "real equator" on GPS🌎. It is a participatory spot that both adults and children can enjoy, where you can experience scientific experiments and ethnic culture while straddling the yellow line. ⸻ 📍 [Location] About a 5-minute walk from the Center of the World Monument. It is the perfect location for a set visit within the same area. 🕰️ [Visiting points] Guided tour takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The guide will be in English or Spanish, and will entertain you with humorous and knowledgeable explanations😊 ⸻ ✨Recommended points • You can learn about the power of the earth by "seeing" and "experienced" experiments such as standing an egg on the equator and changing the flow of water whirls. • There are plenty of exhibits that allow you to experience the real South American culture, such as headhunting culture, indigenous people's lives, and Amazonian creatures. • Small group activities create a sense of unity, and you might even be able to interact with others on your trip! ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice • Admission is $5 (as of June 2025)💵 Payment is required on site, and cards are often not accepted, so cash is safe. • English tours available! It can get crowded at certain times, so it's best to check the time in advance. • Unlike the "Center of the World Monument," the main focus is on experiments and experiences, so it's recommended to give yourself plenty of time to explore. • You can also get some unique souvenirs at the museum shop. 🎁 ⸻ 🌟 [Tips for even more fun] The story of the "headhunters" is realistic and powerful! It's half scary and half amazing, so it's sure to be memorable. 😲 If you participate in a group, the experiments will be more exciting, so it's also great to go with friends or family! ⸻ #TheRealEquator #Ecuador #Quito #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
