Located just north of Quito, this unique destination marks the approximate location of the Equator, where the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet. Our first stop will be the Intiñan Museum, an interactive cultural and scientific center where you will learn about the significance of the Equatorial Line and the ancestral knowledge of Ecuador’s indigenous cultures.

2. After your visit to the Equator, continue to the traditional parish of Pomasqui, where you'll be warmly welcomed into the home of a local family. This authentic culinary experience offers a unique opportunity to discover Ecuadorian cuisine through the eyes of the people who prepare it every day. Together with your hosts, you'll create a traditional homemade lunch featuring three classic courses: a starter, a main dish, and a dessert, each highlighting fresh local ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations. As you cook, you'll learn about Ecuador's culinary traditions, the stories behind each dish, and the importance of sharing food as part of everyday family life. Once everything is ready, sit down with your hosts to enjoy the meal you've prepared together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. After this memorable cultural and gastronomic experience, you'll return comfortably to your hotel in Quito.

About Quito

Quito, capitale andine d'altitude de l'Équateur, a l'un des centres coloniaux les mieux préservés d'Amérique latine, cerné de volcans.

Le centre historique fut l'un des tout premiers sites inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, et ses églises, ses places et ses monastères sont spectaculaires. La Compañía de Jesús resplendit de feuilles d'or à l'intérieur, la basilique del Voto Nacional a des gargouilles en forme d'animaux équatoriens, et la Plaza Grande est entourée de la cathédrale et du palais présidentiel.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
