Intiñan Equator Museum

The Intiñan Solar Museum displays scientific experiments and geographical exhibits along a painted red line marking the equatorial position at zero latitude.

The museum complex opened its doors in 1960 to demonstrate the geographical significance of Ecuador's position on the Earth's equatorial line.

Local guides present indigenous Ecuadorian traditions through demonstrations of ceremonial dances, native tools, and traditional hunting techniques with blowguns.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking a direct bus from Quito's Ofelia station to San Antonio de Pichincha, with guided tours lasting 45 minutes.

The museum features physical experiments showing the effects of gravitational forces at the equator, including water spinning in opposite directions.
