Private Tour: Middle of the World Monument from Quito
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Quito, Ecuador
My Review: Excellent guide! and excellent driver! The monument is well, mainly a photo op. but hey you have to go right? There are some odd but interesting displays by the monument including an insectarium and a small collection of pottery depicting the path of the sun. Don't forget to try the local ice cream on the way out. It is worth it! I would recommend spending the 3 dollars for the museum at the actual GPS equator, get past the decor and just experience it. The experiments on the actual equator line is the real draw including balancing an egg on a nail, trying to walk the equator without loosing your balance (it's harder than it sounds) and watching water go straight down a drain with no spin. The caldera near by offers spectacular views and is well worth stopping at. This offers the best scenery of the area and was my favorite stop.

Otavalo Marketplace with Optional Lunch
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Quito, Ecuador
My Review: It was OK. If you only want to go to experience the market, there is a similar market containing items from all of the areas around Quito including Otavalo in Quito at La Mariscal. I would skip Otavalo and just go there. There is a nice scenic stop on the way and a little stop at town that specializes in leather. I would have preferred to spend more time enjoying the Andes along the way and then spend time in the Otavalo village itself and end it with a stop at the market instead of what it was, a chance to get tourist to shop
